lmhosts

LMHOSTS(5)																LMHOSTS(5)

NAME

       lmhosts - The Samba NetBIOS hosts file

SYNOPSIS

       lmhosts is the  Samba NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file.

DESCRIPTION

       This file is part of the  Samba suite.

       lmhosts	is  the  Samba NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It is very similar to the /etc/hosts file format, except that the hostname
       component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format.

FILE FORMAT

       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 :

       o IP Address - in dotted decimal format.

       o 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.

       An example follows :

       #
       # Sample Samba lmhosts file.
       #
       192.9.200.1    TESTPC
       192.9.200.20   NTSERVER#20
       192.9.200.21   SAMBASERVER

       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.

       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.

       The default location of the lmhosts file is in the same directory as the smb.conf(5)> file.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 2.2 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

       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.

       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
