Name

lmhosts — The Samba NetBIOS hosts file

Synopsis

lmhosts is the samba(7) NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file.

DESCRIPTION

This file is part of the samba(7) suite.

lmhosts is the Samba + NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file. It + is very similar to the /etc/hosts file + format, except that the hostname component must correspond + to the NetBIOS naming format.

FILE FORMAT

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:

  • IP Address - in dotted decimal format.

  • 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.

    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.

An example follows: +

+#
+# Sample Samba lmhosts file.
+#
+192.9.200.1	TESTPC
+192.9.200.20	NTSERVER#20
+192.9.200.21	SAMBASERVER
+

+

Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings. The first + and third will be returned for any queries for the names "TESTPC" + and "SAMBASERVER" respectively, whatever the type component of + the NetBIOS name requested.

The second mapping will be returned only when the "0x20" name + type for a name "NTSERVER" is queried. Any other name type will not + be resolved.

The default location of the lmhosts file + is in the same directory as the smb.conf(5) file.

FILES

lmhosts is loaded from the configuration directory. This is + usually /etc/samba or /usr/local/samba/lib. +

VERSION

This man page is correct for version 3.0 of the Samba suite.

AUTHOR

The 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.

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 + + 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.
