lmhosts \- The Samba NetBIOS hosts file
176
NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&.
179
This file is part of the
186
NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&. It is very similar to the
188
file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&.
191
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:
201
IP Address \- in dotted decimal format\&.
212
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\&.
214
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\&.

237
192\&.9\&.200\&.21 SAMBASERVER
238
.EB lightgray adjust-for-leading-newline
249
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\&.
251
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\&.
253
The default location of the
255
file is in the same directory as the
260
lmhosts is loaded from the configuration directory\&. This is usually
263
\FC/usr/local/samba/lib\F[]\&.
266
This man page is correct for version 3 of the Samba suite\&.

\fBsmb.conf\fR(5), and
274
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\&.
276
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
277
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\&.
