It also participates in the browsing protocols which make up the Windows "Network Neighborhood" view\&. .PP SMB/CIFS clients, when they start up, may wish to locate an SMB/CIFS server\&. That is, they wish to know what IP number a specified host is using\&. .PP Amongst other services, -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd will listen for such requests, and if its own NetBIOS name is specified it will respond with the IP number of the host it is running on\&. Its "own NetBIOS name" is by default the primary DNS name of the host it is running on, but this can be overridden by the \m[blue]\fBnetbios name\fR\m[] in -\FCsmb\&.conf\F[]\&. Thus -\FCnmbd\F[] +smb\&.conf\&. Thus +nmbd will reply to broadcast queries for its own name(s)\&. Additional names for -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd to respond on can be set via parameters in the \fBsmb.conf\fR(5) configuration file\&. .PP -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd can also be used as a WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) server\&. What this basically means is that it will act as a WINS database server, creating a database from name registration requests that it receives and replying to queries from clients for these names\&. .PP In addition, -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd can act as a WINS proxy, relaying broadcast queries from clients that do not understand how to talk the WINS protocol to a WINS server\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .PP \-D .RS 4 If specified, this parameter causes -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd to operate as a daemon\&. That is, it detaches itself and runs in the background, fielding requests on the appropriate port\&. By default, -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd will operate as a daemon if launched from a command shell\&. nmbd can also be operated from the -\FCinetd\F[] +inetd meta\-daemon, although this is not recommended\&. .RE .PP \-F .RS 4 If specified, this parameter causes the main -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd process to not daemonize, i\&.e\&. double\-fork and disassociate with the terminal\&. Child processes are still created as normal to service each connection request, but the main process does not exit\&. This operation mode is suitable for running -\FCnmbd\F[] +nmbd under process supervisors such as -\FCsupervise\F[] +supervise and -\FCsvscan\F[] +svscan from Daniel J\&.
