30.SH "NAME"
31nmblookup \- NetBIOS over TCP/IP client used to lookup NetBIOS names
32.SH "SYNOPSIS"
33.HP \w'\ 'u
34nmblookup [\-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}
35.SH "DESCRIPTION"
36.PP
37This tool is part of the
38\fBsamba\fR(7)
39suite\&.
40.PP
41nmblookup
42is 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\&.
43.SH "OPTIONS"
44.PP
45\-M
46.RS 4
47Searches for a master browser by looking up the NetBIOS name
48\fIname\fR
49with a type of
50\fB0x1d\fR\&. If
51\fI name\fR
52is "\-" then it does a lookup on the special name
53\fB__MSBROWSE__\fR\&. Please note that in order to use the name "\-", you need to make sure "\-" isn\*(Aqt parsed as an argument, e\&.g\&. use :
54\fBnmblookup \-M \-\- \-\fR\&.
55.RE
56.PP
57\-R
58.RS 4
59Set 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\&.
60.RE
61.PP
62\-S
63.RS 4
64Once 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\&.
65.RE
66.PP
67\-r
68.RS 4
69Try 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
70\fBnmbd\fR(8)
71daemon is running on this machine it also binds to this port\&.
72.RE
73.PP
74\-A
75.RS 4
76Interpret
77\fIname\fR
78as an IP Address and do a node status query on this address\&.
79.RE
80.PP
81\-n|\-\-netbiosname <primary NetBIOS name>
82.RS 4
83This option allows you to override the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself\&. This is identical to setting the
84\m[blue]\fBnetbios name\fR\m[]
85parameter in the
86smb\&.conf
87file\&. However, a command line setting will take precedence over settings in
88smb\&.conf\&.
89.RE
90.PP
91\-i|\-\-scope <scope>
92.RS 4
93This specifies a NetBIOS scope that
94nmblookup
95will 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
96\fIvery\fR
97rarely used, only set this parameter if you are the system administrator in charge of all the NetBIOS systems you communicate with\&.
98.RE
99.PP
100\-W|\-\-workgroup=domain
101.RS 4
102Set 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)\&.
103.RE
104.PP
105\-O|\-\-socket\-options socket options
106.RS 4
107TCP socket options to set on the client socket\&. See the socket options parameter in the
108smb\&.conf
109manual page for the list of valid options\&.
110.RE
111.PP
112\-h|\-\-help
113.RS 4
114Print a summary of command line options\&.
115.RE
116.PP
117\-B <broadcast address>
118.RS 4
119Send 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
120\fIinterfaces\fR
121parameter of the
122\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)
123file\&.
124.RE
125.PP
126\-U <unicast address>
127.RS 4
128Do a unicast query to the specified address or host
129\fIunicast address\fR\&. This option (along with the
130\fI\-R\fR
131option) is needed to query a WINS server\&.
132.RE
133.PP
134\-d|\-\-debuglevel=level
135.RS 4
136\fIlevel\fR
137is an integer from 0 to 10\&. The default value if this parameter is not specified is 0\&.
138.sp
139The 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\&.
140.sp
141Levels 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\&.
142.sp
143Note that specifying this parameter here will override the
144\m[blue]\fBlog level\fR\m[]
145parameter in the
146smb\&.conf
147file\&.
148.RE
149.PP
150\-V|\-\-version
151.RS 4
152Prints the program version number\&.
153.RE
154.PP
155\-s|\-\-configfile <configuration file>
156.RS 4
157The 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
158smb\&.conf
159for more information\&. The default configuration file name is determined at compile time\&.
160.RE
161.PP
162\-l|\-\-log\-basename=logdirectory
163.RS 4
164Base directory name for log/debug files\&. The extension
165\fB"\&.progname"\fR
166will be appended (e\&.g\&. log\&.smbclient, log\&.smbd, etc\&.\&.\&.)\&. The log file is never removed by the client\&.
167.RE
168.PP
169\-T
170.RS 4
171This 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
172.sp
173\fIIP address \&.\&.\&.\&. NetBIOS name\fR
174.sp
175pair that is the normal output\&.
176.RE
177.PP
178\-f
179.RS 4
180Show 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\&.
181.RE
182.PP
183name
184.RS 4
185This 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 \*(Aq#<type>\*(Aq to the name\&. This name may also be \*(Aq*\*(Aq, which will return all registered names within a broadcast area\&.
186.RE
187.SH "EXAMPLES"
188.PP
189nmblookup
190can be used to query a WINS server (in the same way
191nslookup
192is used to query DNS servers)\&. To query a WINS server,
193nmblookup
194must be called like this:
195.PP
196nmblookup \-U server \-R \*(Aqname\*(Aq
197.PP
198For example, running :
199.PP
200nmblookup \-U samba\&.org \-R \*(AqIRIX#1B\*(Aq
201.PP
202would query the WINS server samba\&.org for the domain master browser (1B name type) for the IRIX workgroup\&.
203.SH "VERSION"
204.PP
205This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite\&.
206.SH "SEE ALSO"
207.PP
208\fBnmbd\fR(8),
209\fBsamba\fR(7), and
210\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)\&.
211.SH "AUTHOR"
212.PP
213The 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\&.
214.PP
215The 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
216ftp://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\&.
