|
|---|
| 36 | is the
|
|---|
| 37 | \fBSamba \fR
|
|---|
| 38 | NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It is very similar to the
|
|---|
| 39 | \fI/etc/hosts\fR
|
|---|
| 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 | .TP 3n
|
|---|
| 45 | \(bu
|
|---|
| 46 | IP Address - in dotted decimal format.
|
|---|
| 47 | .TP 3n
|
|---|
| 48 | \(bu
|
|---|
| 49 | 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.
|
|---|
| 50 | .sp
|
|---|
| 51 | 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.

| 96 | 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
|
|---|
| 97 | 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.
