  71         <para>The output of <command>findsmb</command> lists the following
  72         information for all machines that respond to the initial
  73         <command>nmblookup</command> for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name,
  74         Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.</para>
  75
  76         <para>There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for
  77         machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There
  78         will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for
  79         machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup.
  80         Machines that are running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or
  81         Windows 98 will
  82         not show any information about the operating system or server
  83         version.</para>
  84
  85         <para>The command with <constant>-r</constant> option
  86         must be run on a system without <citerefentry>
  87         <refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
  88         </citerefentry> running.
  89
  90         If <command>nmbd</command> is running on the system, you will
  91         only  get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To
  92         get proper responses  from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines,
  93         the command must be run as root and with <constant>-r</constant>
  94         option on a machine without <command>nmbd</command> running.</para>
  95
  96         <para>For example, running <command>findsmb</command>
  97         without <constant>-r</constant> option set would yield output similar
  98         to the following</para>
