It uses \fBnmblookup\fR(1) and \fBsmbclient\fR(1) to obtain this information\&. .SH "OPTIONS" .TP \-r Controls whether \fBfindsmb\fR takes bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name registered of the remote machine\&. This option is disabled by default because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only\&. If set, \fBnmblookup\fR(1) will be called with \fB\-B\fR option\&. .TP subnet broadcast address Without this option, \fBfindsmb \fR will probe the subnet of the machine where\fBfindsmb\fR(1) is run\&. This value is passed to\fBnmblookup\fR(1) as part of the \fB\-B\fR option\&. .SH "EXAMPLES" .PP The output of \fBfindsmb\fR lists the following information for all machines that respond to the initial\fBnmblookup\fR for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version\&. .PP There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup\&. There will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup\&. Machines that are running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will not show any information about the operating system or server version\&. .PP The command with \fB\-r\fR option must be run on a system without \fBnmbd\fR(8)running\&. If \fBnmbd\fR is running on the system, you will only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine\&. To get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, the command must be run as root and with \fB\-r\fR option on a machine without \fBnmbd\fR running\&. .PP For example, running \fBfindsmb\fR without \fB\-r\fR option set would yield output similar to the following .nf IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 192\&.168\&.35\&.10 MINESET\-TEST1 [DMVENGR] 192\&.168\&.35\&.55 LINUXBOX *[MYGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 2\&.0\&.6] 192\&.168\&.35\&.56 HERBNT2 [HERB\-NT] 192\&.168\&.35\&.63 GANDALF [MVENGR] [Unix] [Samba 2\&.0\&.5a for IRIX] 192\&.168\&.35\&.65 SAUNA [WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 1\&.9\&.18p10] 192\&.168\&.35\&.71 FROGSTAR [ENGR] [Unix] [Samba 2\&.0\&.0 for IRIX] 192\&.168\&.35\&.78 HERBDHCP1 +[HERB] 192\&.168\&.35\&.88 SCNT2 +[MVENGR] [Windows NT 4\&.0] [NT LAN Manager 4\&.0] 192\&.168\&.35\&.93 FROGSTAR\-PC [MVENGR] [Windows 5\&.0] [Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 192\&.168\&.35\&.97 HERBNT1 *[HERB\-NT] [Windows NT 4\&.0] [NT LAN Manager 4\&.0] .fi .SH "VERSION" .PP This man page is correct for version 3\&.0 of the Samba suite\&. .SH "SEE ALSO" .PP \fBnmbd\fR(8),\fBsmbclient\fR(1), and \fBnmblookup\fR(1) .SH "AUTHOR" .PP The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&.

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 for Samba 3\&.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy\&.
