.SH NAME
findsmb \- list info about machines that respond to SMB name queries on a subnet
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBfindsmb\fR [ \fBsubnet broadcast address\fR ]
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This perl script is part of the Samba suite.
.PP
\fBfindsmb\fR is a perl script that
prints out several pieces of information about machines
on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests.
It uses \fB nmblookup(1)\fR to obtain this information.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
\fB-r\fR
Controls whether \fBfindsmb\fR takes
bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name
registered of the remote machine. This option is disabled by default
because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only.
If set, \fBnmblookup\fR
will be called with -B option.
.TP
\fBsubnet broadcast address\fR
Without this option, \fBfindsmb
\fR will probe the subnet of the machine where
\fBfindsmb\fR is run. This value is passed
to \fBnmblookup\fR as part of the
-B option.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The output of \fBfindsmb\fR lists the following
information for all machines that respond to the initial
\fBnmblookup\fR for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name,
Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.
.PP
There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for
machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There
will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for
machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup.
Machines that are running Windows, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will
not show any information about the operating system or server
version.
.PP
The command with -r option
must be run on a system without \fBnmbd\fR running.
If \fBnmbd\fR is running on the system, you will
only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To
get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines,
the command must be run as root and with -r
option on a machine without \fBnmbd\fR running.
.PP
For example, running \fBfindsmb\fR without
-r option set would yield output similar
to the following
.nf

.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is correct for version 3.0 of
the Samba suite.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
\fBnmbd(8)\fR
\fBsmbclient(1)
\fR and \fBnmblookup(1)\fR
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
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.
.PP
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
ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/ <URL:ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/>) and updated for the Samba 2.0
release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter
