<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>This file is part of the <ulink url="samba.7.html">
Samba</ulink> suite.</para>
<para><filename>lmhosts</filename> is the <emphasis>Samba
</emphasis> NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It
is very similar to the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file
format, except that the hostname component must correspond
to the NetBIOS naming format.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>FILE FORMAT</title>
<para>It is an ASCII file containing one line for NetBIOS name.
The two fields on each line are separated from each other by
white space. Any entry beginning with '#' is ignored. Each line
in the lmhosts file contains the following information :</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>IP Address - in dotted decimal format.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>NetBIOS Name - This name format is a
maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional
trailing '#' character followed by the NetBIOS name type
as two hexadecimal digits.</para>
<para>If the trailing '#' is omitted then the given IP
address will be returned for all names that match the given
name, whatever the NetBIOS name type in the lookup.</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>An example follows :</para>
<para><programlisting>
#
# Sample Samba lmhosts file.
#
192.9.200.1 TESTPC
192.9.200.20 NTSERVER#20
192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER
</programlisting></para>
<para>Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings. The first
and third will be returned for any queries for the names "TESTPC"
and "SAMBASERVER" respectively, whatever the type component of
the NetBIOS name requested.</para>
<para>The second mapping will be returned only when the "0x20" name
type for a name "NTSERVER" is queried. Any other name type will not
be resolved.</para>
<para>The default location of the <filename>lmhosts</filename> file
is in the same directory as the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html">
smb.conf(5)></ulink> file.</para>

<title>VERSION</title>
<para>This man page is correct for version 2.2 of
the Samba suite.</para>

<title>AUTHOR</title>
<para>The original Samba software and related utilities
were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
<para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
excellent piece of Open Source software, available at
<ulink url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</para>
