NTDBBACKUP(8)						    System Administration tools 					     NTDBBACKUP(8)

NAME

       ntdbbackup - tool for backing up and for validating the integrity of samba .ntdb files

SYNOPSIS

       ntdbbackup [-s suffix] [-v] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       This tool is part of the samba(1) suite.

       ntdbbackup is a tool that may be used to backup samba .ntdb files. This tool may also be used to verify the integrity of the .ntdb files
       prior to samba startup or during normal operation. If it finds file damage and it finds a prior backup the backup file will be restored.

OPTIONS

       -h
	   Get help information.

       -s suffix
	   The -s option allows the administrator to specify a file backup extension. This way it is possible to keep a history of ntdb backup
	   files by using a new suffix for each backup.

       -v
	   The -v will check the database for damages (corrupt data) which if detected causes the backup to be restored.

COMMANDS

       GENERAL INFORMATION

       The ntdbbackup utility can safely be run at any time. It was designed so that it can be used at any time to validate the integrity of ntdb
       files, even during Samba operation. Typical usage for the command will be:

       ntdbbackup [-s suffix] *.ntdb

       Before restarting samba the following command may be run to validate .ntdb files:

       ntdbbackup -v [-s suffix] *.ntdb

       Note that Samba 4 can use .tdb files instead, so you should use tdbbackup on those files.

       Samba .tdb and .ntdb files are stored in various locations, be sure to run backup all .(n)tdb files on the system. Important files
       includes:

       o   secrets.(n)tdb - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba.

       o   passdb.(n)tdb - usual location is in the /usr/local/samba/private directory, or on some systems in /etc/samba.

       o   *.tdb and *.ntdb located in the /usr/local/samba/var directory or on some systems in the /var/cache or /var/lib/samba directories.

       This man page is correct for version 4 of the Samba suite.

NAME

       lmhosts - The Samba NetBIOS hosts file

SYNOPSIS

       lmhosts is the samba(7) NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file.

DESCRIPTION

       This file is part of the samba(7) 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.

FILES

       lmhosts is loaded from the configuration directory. This is usually /etc/samba or /usr/local/samba/lib.

VERSION

       This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite.
