It +is very similar to the \fI/etc/hosts\fR file +format, except that the hostname component must correspond +to the NetBIOS naming format. +.SH "FILE FORMAT" +.PP +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 : +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +IP Address - in dotted decimal format. +.TP 0.2i +\(bu +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. + +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. +.PP +An example follows : +.PP +.PP +.sp +.nf +# +# Sample Samba lmhosts file. +# +192.9.200.1 TESTPC +192.9.200.20 NTSERVER#20 +192.9.200.21 SAMBASERVER + +.sp +.fi +.PP +.PP +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. +.PP +.PP +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. +.PP +.PP +The default location of the \fIlmhosts\fR file +is in the same directory as the +smb.conf(5)>file. +.PP +.SH "VERSION" +.PP +This man page is correct for version 2.2 of +the Samba suite. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBsmbclient(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 |
