><P
>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 :</P
><P
></P
><UL
><LI
><P
>IP Address - in dotted decimal format.</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>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.</P
><P
>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.</P

>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.</P

>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
	<A

>) and updated for the Samba 2.0 
	release by Jeremy Allison.  The conversion to DocBook for 
	Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter</P
