It is very similar to the +/etc/hosts +file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&. +.SH "FILE FORMAT" +.PP +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 \*(Aq#\*(Aq is ignored\&. Each line in the lmhosts file contains the following information: +.RS +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +IP Address \- in dotted decimal format\&. +.RE +.sp +.RS 4 +.ie n \{\ +\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c +.\} +.el \{\ +.sp -1 +.IP \(bu 2.3 +.\} +NetBIOS Name \- This name format is a maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional trailing \*(Aq#\*(Aq character followed by the NetBIOS name type as two hexadecimal digits\&. +.sp +If the trailing \*(Aq#\*(Aq 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\&. +.RE +.sp +.RE +.PP +An example follows: +.sp +.if n \{\ +.RS 4 +.\} +.nf +# +# Sample Samba lmhosts file\&. +# +192\&.9\&.200\&.1 TESTPC +192\&.9\&.200\&.20 NTSERVER#20 +192\&.9\&.200\&.21 SAMBASERVER +.fi +.if n \{\ +.RE +.\} +.PP +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\&. +.PP +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\&. +.PP +The default location of the +lmhosts +file is in the same directory as the +\fBsmb.conf\fR(5) +file\&. +.SH "FILES" +.PP +lmhosts is loaded from the configuration directory\&. This is usually +/etc/samba +or +/usr/local/samba/lib\&. +.SH "VERSION" +.PP +This man page is part of version 4\&.19\&.5\-Debian of the Samba suite\&. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBsmbclient\fR(1), +\fBsmb.conf\fR(5), and +\fBsmbpasswd\fR(8) +.SH "AUTHOR" +.PP +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\&. |
