21.SH "NAME"
22nmblookup \- NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names
23.SH "SYNOPSIS"
24.HP \w'\ 'u
25nmblookup [\-M] [\-R] [\-S] [\-r] [\-A] [\-h] [\-B\ <broadcast\ address>] [\-U\ <unicast\ address>] [\-d\ <debug\ level>] [\-s\ <smb\ config\ file>] [\-i\ <NetBIOS\ scope>] [\-T] [\-f] {name}
26.SH "DESCRIPTION"
27.PP
28This tool is part of the
29\fBsamba\fR(7)
30suite\&.
31.PP
32nmblookup
33is used to query NetBIOS names and map them to IP addresses in a network using NetBIOS over TCP/IP queries\&. The options allow the name queries to be directed at a particular IP broadcast area or to a particular machine\&. All queries are done over UDP\&.
34.SH "OPTIONS"
35.PP
36\-M
37.RS 4
38Searches for a master browser by looking up the NetBIOS name
39\fIname\fR
40with a type of
41\fB0x1d\fR\&. If
42\fI name\fR
43is "\-" then it does a lookup on the special name
44\fB__MSBROWSE__\fR\&. Please note that in order to use the name "\-", you need to make sure "\-" isn\'t parsed as an argument, e\&.g\&. use :
45\fBnmblookup \-M \-\- \-\fR\&.
46.RE
47.PP
48\-R
49.RS 4
50Set the recursion desired bit in the packet to do a recursive lookup\&. This is used when sending a name query to a machine running a WINS server and the user wishes to query the names in the WINS server\&. If this bit is unset the normal (broadcast responding) NetBIOS processing code on a machine is used instead\&. See RFC1001, RFC1002 for details\&.
51.RE
52.PP
53\-S
54.RS 4
55Once the name query has returned an IP address then do a node status query as well\&. A node status query returns the NetBIOS names registered by a host\&.
56.RE
57.PP
58\-r
59.RS 4
60Try and bind to UDP port 137 to send and receive UDP datagrams\&. The reason for this option is a bug in Windows 95 where it ignores the source port of the requesting packet and only replies to UDP port 137\&. Unfortunately, on most UNIX systems root privilege is needed to bind to this port, and in addition, if the
61\fBnmbd\fR(8)
62daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port\&.
63.RE
64.PP
65\-A
66.RS 4
67Interpret
68\fIname\fR
69as an IP Address and do a node status query on this address\&.
70.RE
71.PP
72\-n|\-\-netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
73.RS 4
74This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself\&. This is identical to setting the
75\m[blue]\fBnetbios name\fR\m[]
76parameter in the
77smb\&.conf
78file\&. However, a command line setting will take precedence over settings in
79smb\&.conf\&.
80.RE
81.PP
82\-i|\-\-scope <scope>
83.RS 4
84This specifies a NetBIOS scope that
85nmblookup
86will use to communicate with when generating NetBIOS names\&. For details on the use of NetBIOS scopes, see rfc1001\&.txt and rfc1002\&.txt\&. NetBIOS scopes are
87\fIvery\fR
88rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you communicate with\&.
89.RE
90.PP
91\-W|\-\-workgroup=domain
92.RS 4
93Set the SMB domain of the username\&. This overrides the default domain which is the domain defined in smb\&.conf\&. If the domain specified is the same as the servers NetBIOS name, it causes the client to log on using the servers local SAM (as opposed to the Domain SAM)\&.
94.RE
95.PP
96\-O|\-\-socket\-options socket options
97.RS 4
98TCP socket options to set on the client socket\&. See the socket options parameter in the
99smb\&.conf
100manual page for the list of valid options\&.
101.RE
102.PP
103\-h|\-\-help
104.RS 4
105Print a summary of command line options\&.
106.RE
107.PP
108\-B <broadcast address>
109.RS 4
110Send the query to the given broadcast address\&. Without this option the default behavior of nmblookup is to send the query to the broadcast address of the network interfaces as either auto\-detected or defined in the
111\fIinterfaces\fR
112parameter of the
113\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)
114file\&.
115.RE
116.PP
117\-U <unicast address>
118.RS 4
119Do a unicast query to the specified address or host
120\fIunicast address\fR\&. This option (along with the
121\fI\-R\fR
122option) is needed to query a WINS server\&.
123.RE
124.PP
125\-d|\-\-debuglevel=level
126.RS 4
127\fIlevel\fR
128is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is 0\&.
129.sp
130The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files about the activities of the server\&. At level 0, only critical errors and serious warnings will be logged\&. Level 1 is a reasonable level for day\-to\-day running \- it generates a small amount of information about operations carried out\&.
131.sp
132Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and should only be used when investigating a problem\&. Levels above 3 are designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log data, most of which is extremely cryptic\&.
133.sp
134Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
135\m[blue]\fBlog level\fR\m[]
136parameter in the
137smb\&.conf
138file\&.
139.RE
140.PP
141\-V|\-\-version
142.RS 4
143Prints the program version number\&.
144.RE
145.PP
146\-s|\-\-configfile <configuration file>
147.RS 4
148The file specified contains the configuration details required by the server\&. The information in this file includes server\-specific information such as what printcap file to use, as well as descriptions of all the services that the server is to provide\&. See
149smb\&.conf
150for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
151.RE
152.PP
153\-l|\-\-log\-basename=logdirectory
154.RS 4
155Base directory name for log/debug files\&. The extension
156\fB"\&.progname"\fR
157will be appended (e\&.g\&. log\&.smbclient, log\&.smbd, etc\&.\&.\&.)\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
158.RE
159.PP
160\-T
161.RS 4
162This causes any IP addresses found in the lookup to be looked up via a reverse DNS lookup into a DNS name, and printed out before each
163.sp
164\fIIP address \&.\&.\&.\&. NetBIOS name\fR
165.sp
166pair that is the normal output\&.
167.RE
168.PP
169\-f
170.RS 4
171Show which flags apply to the name that has been looked up\&. Possible answers are zero or more of: Response, Authoritative, Truncated, Recursion_Desired, Recursion_Available, Broadcast\&.
172.RE
173.PP
174name
175.RS 4
176This is the NetBIOS name being queried\&. Depending upon the previous options this may be a NetBIOS name or IP address\&. If a NetBIOS name then the different name types may be specified by appending \'#<type>\' to the name\&. This name may also be \'*\', which will return all registered names within a broadcast area\&.
177.RE
178.SH "EXAMPLES"
179.PP
180nmblookup
181can be used to query a WINS server (in the same way
182nslookup
183is used to query DNS servers)\&. To query a WINS server,
184nmblookup
185must be called like this:
186.PP
187nmblookup \-U server \-R \'name\'
188.PP
189For example, running :
190.PP
191nmblookup \-U samba\&.org \-R \'IRIX#1B\'
192.PP
193would query the WINS server samba\&.org for the domain master browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup\&.
194.SH "VERSION"
195.PP
196This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite\&.
197.SH "SEE ALSO"
198.PP
199\fBnmbd\fR(8),
200\fBsamba\fR(7), and
201\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.
202.SH "AUTHOR"
203.PP
204The 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\&.
205.PP
206The 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
207ftp://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 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
