| 23 | .SH "SYNOPSIS"
|

| 24 | .PP
|

| 25 | lmhosts
|
|---|
| 26 | is the
|
|---|
| 27 | \fBsamba\fR(7)
|

| 28 | NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&.
|

| 29 | .SH "DESCRIPTION"

| 30 | .PP
|

| 31 | This file is part of the
|

|

| 33 | suite\&.
|

| 34 | .PP

| 35 | lmhosts
|
|---|
| 36 | is the
|
|---|
| 37 | \fISamba \fR
|
|---|
| 38 | NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&. It is very similar to the
|
|---|
| 39 | /etc/hosts
|
|---|
| 40 | file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&.
|

| 41 | .SH "FILE FORMAT"
|

| 42 | .PP
|

| 43 | 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:
|
|---|
| 44 | .sp
|
|---|
| 45 | .RS 4
|
|---|
| 46 | .ie n \{\
|

|

| 62 | .IP \(bu 2.3
|
|---|
| 63 | .\}
|
|---|
| 64 | 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\&.
|
|---|
| 65 | .sp
|
|---|
| 66 | 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\&.

| 87 | 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\&.
|
|---|
| 88 | .PP
|
|---|
| 89 | 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\&.

| 90 | .PP
|
|---|
| 91 | The default location of the
|
|---|
| 92 | lmhosts

|

| 94 | \fBsmb.conf\fR(5)

| 98 | lmhosts is loaded from the configuration directory\&. This is usually
|

| 99 | /etc/samba
|

| 100 | or
|

| 101 | /usr/local/samba/lib\&.
|

| 111 | .PP
|

| 112 | 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\&.
|
|---|
| 113 | .PP
|
|---|
| 114 | 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
|
|---|
| 115 | 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\&. The conversion to DocBook XML 4\&.2 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
