169.SH "Name"
170lmhosts \- The Samba NetBIOS hosts file
171.SH "Synopsis"
172.PP
173\FClmhosts\F[]
174is the
175\fBsamba\fR(7)
176NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&.
177.SH "DESCRIPTION"
178.PP
179This file is part of the
180\fBsamba\fR(7)
181suite\&.
182.PP
183\FClmhosts\F[]
184is the
185\fISamba \fR
186NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&. It is very similar to the
187\FC/etc/hosts\F[]
188file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&.
189.SH "FILE FORMAT"
190.PP
191It 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:
192.sp
193.RS 4
194.ie n \{\
195\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
196.\}
197.el \{\
198.sp -1
199.IP \(bu 2.3
200.\}
201IP Address \- in dotted decimal format\&.
202.RE
203.sp
204.RS 4
205.ie n \{\
206\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
207.\}
208.el \{\
209.sp -1
210.IP \(bu 2.3
211.\}
212NetBIOS 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\&.
213.sp
214If 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\&.
215.sp
216.RE
217.PP
218An example follows:
219.sp
220.if n \{\
221.RS 4
222.\}
