It also controls browsing. - -LanManager clients, when they start up, may wish to locate a LanManager server. -That is, they wish to know what IP number a specified host is using. - -This program simply listens for such requests, and if its own name is specified -it will respond with the IP number of the host it is running on. -Its "own name" is by default the name of the host it is running on, -but this can be overriden with the -.B \-n -option (see "OPTIONS" below). - -.B nmbd -can also be used as a WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) server. -What this basically means is that it will respond to all name requests that -it receives that are not broadcasts, as long as it can resolve the name. -Resolvable names include all names in the netbios hosts file (if any, see -.B \-H -below), its own name, and any other names that it may have learned about -from other browsers on the network. -A change to previous versions is that nmbd will now no longer -do this automatically by default. -.SH OPTIONS -.B \-B - -.RS 3 -This option is obsolete. Please use the "interfaces" option in smb.conf instead. -.RE - -.B \-I - -.RS 3 -This option is obsolete. Please use the "interfaces" option in smb.conf instead. -.RE - -.B \-D - -.RS 3 -If specified, this parameter causes the server to operate as a daemon. That is, -it detaches itself and runs in the background, fielding requests on the -appropriate port. - -By default, the server will NOT operate as a daemon. -.RE - -.B \-C comment string - -.RS 3 -This option is obsolete. Please use the "server string" option in smb.conf -instead. -.RE - -.B \-G - -.RS 3 -This option is obsolete. Please use the "workgroup" option in smb.conf instead. -.RE - -.B \-H -.I netbios hosts file - -.RS 3 -It may be useful in some situations to be able to specify a list of -netbios names for which the server should send a reply if queried. -This option allows you to specify a file containing such a list. -The syntax of the hosts file is similar to the standard /etc/hosts file -format, but has some extensions. - -The file contains three columns. Lines beginning with a # are ignored -as comments. The first column is an IP address, or a hostname. If it -is a hostname then it is interpreted as the IP address returned by -gethostbyname() when read. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 will be -interpreted as the server's own IP address. - -The second column is a netbios name. This is the name that the server -will respond to. It must be less than 20 characters long. - -The third column is optional, and is intended for flags. Currently the -only flag supported is M, which means that this name is the default -netbios name for this machine. This has the same effect as specifying the -.B \-n -option to -.BR nmbd . - -NOTE: The G and S flags are now obsolete and are replaced by the -"interfaces" and "remote announce" options in smb.conf. - -The default hosts file name is set at compile time, typically as -.I /etc/lmhosts, -but this may be changed in the Samba Makefile. - -After startup the server waits for queries, and will answer queries for -any name known to it. This includes all names in the netbios hosts file, -its own name, and any other names it may have learned about from other -browsers on the network. - -The primary intention of the -.B \-H -option is to allow a mapping from netbios names to internet domain names. - -.B Example: - - # This is a sample netbios hosts file - - # DO NOT USE THIS FILE AS-IS - # YOU MAY INCONVENIENCE THE OWNERS OF THESE IPs - # if you want to include a name with a space in it then - # use double quotes. - - # next add a netbios alias for a faraway host - arvidsjaur.anu.edu.au ARVIDSJAUR - - # finally put in an IP for a hard to find host - 130.45.3.213 FREDDY - -.RE -.B \-N - -.RS 3 -This option is obsolete. Please use the "interfaces" option in smb.conf instead. -.RE - -.B \-d -.I debuglevel - -.RS 3 -This option sets the debug level. See -.BR smb.conf (5). -.RE - -.B \-l -.I log file - -.RS 3 -The -.I log file -parameter specifies a path and base filename into which operational data -from the running -.B nmbd -server will be logged. -The actual log file name is generated by appending the extension ".nmb" to -the specified base name. -For example, if the name specified was "log" then the file log.nmb would -contain the debugging data. - -The default log file is specified at compile time, typically as -.I /var/log/log.nmb. -.RE - -.B \-n -.I netbios name - -.RS 3 -This option allows you to override the Netbios name that Samba uses for itself. -.RE - -.B \-p -.I port number -.RS 3 - -port number is a positive integer value. - -Don't use this option unless you are an expert, in which case you -won't need help! -.RE - -.B \-s -.I configuration file - -.RS 3 -The default configuration file name is set at compile time, typically as -.I /etc/smb.conf, -but this may be changed in the Samba Makefile. - -The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server. -See -.BR smb.conf (5) -for more information. -.RE -.SH VERSION - -This man page is (mostly) correct for version 1.9.16 of the Samba -suite, plus some of the recent patches to it. These notes will -necessarily lag behind development of the software, so it is possible -that your version of the server has extensions or parameter semantics -that differ from or are not covered by this man page. Please notify -these to the address below for rectification. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR inetd (8), -.BR smbd (8), -.BR smb.conf (5), -.BR smbclient (1), -.BR testparm (1), -.BR testprns (1) -.SH CREDITS -The original Samba software and related utilities were created by -Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au).
