31.SH "DESCRIPTION"
32
33.PP
34This perl script is part of the \fBsamba\fR(7) suite\&.
35
36.PP
37\fBfindsmb\fR is a perl script that prints out several pieces of information about machines on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests\&. It uses \fBnmblookup\fR(1) and \fBsmbclient\fR(1) to obtain this information\&.
38
39.SH "OPTIONS"
40
41.TP
42\-r
43Controls whether \fBfindsmb\fR takes bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name registered of the remote machine\&. This option is disabled by default because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only\&. If set, \fBnmblookup\fR(1) will be called with \fB\-B\fR option\&.
44
45.TP
46subnet broadcast address
47Without this option, \fBfindsmb \fR will probe the subnet of the machine where\fBfindsmb\fR(1) is run\&. This value is passed to\fBnmblookup\fR(1) as part of the \fB\-B\fR option\&.
48
49.SH "EXAMPLES"
50
51.PP
52The output of \fBfindsmb\fR lists the following information for all machines that respond to the initial\fBnmblookup\fR for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version\&.
53
54.PP
55There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup\&. There will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup\&. Machines that are running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will not show any information about the operating system or server version\&.
56
57.PP
58The command with \fB\-r\fR option must be run on a system without \fBnmbd\fR(8)running\&. If \fBnmbd\fR is running on the system, you will only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine\&. To get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, the command must be run as root and with \fB\-r\fR option on a machine without \fBnmbd\fR running\&.
59
60.PP
61For example, running \fBfindsmb\fR without \fB\-r\fR option set would yield output similar to the following

91
92.PP
93The 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\&.
94
95.PP
96The 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/) 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\&.
