28 <refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
31 <para><command>findsmb</command> is a perl script that
32 prints out several pieces of information about machines
33 on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests.
34 It uses <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmblookup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
35 and <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbclient</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
36 to obtain this information.
41 <title>OPTIONS</title>
46 <listitem><para>Controls whether <command>findsmb</command> takes
47 bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name
48 registered of the remote machine. This option is disabled by default
49 because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only.
50 If set, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmblookup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
51 will be called with <constant>-B</constant> option.</para></listitem>
54 <term>subnet broadcast address</term>
55 <listitem><para>Without this option, <command>findsmb
56 </command> will probe the subnet of the machine where
57 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>findsmb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
58 is run. This value is passed to
59 <citerefentry><refentrytitle>nmblookup</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
60 as part of the <constant>-B</constant> option.</para></listitem>
66 <title>EXAMPLES</title>
68 <para>The output of <command>findsmb</command> lists the following
69 information for all machines that respond to the initial
70 <command>nmblookup</command> for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name,
71 Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.</para>
73 <para>There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for
74 machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There
75 will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for
76 machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup.
77 Machines that are running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or
79 not show any information about the operating system or server
82 <para>The command with <constant>-r</constant> option
83 must be run on a system without <citerefentry>
84 <refentrytitle>nmbd</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum>
85 </citerefentry> running.
87 If <command>nmbd</command> is running on the system, you will
88 only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To
89 get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines,
90 the command must be run as root and with <constant>-r</constant>
91 option on a machine without <command>nmbd</command> running.</para>
93 <para>For example, running <command>findsmb</command>
94 without <constant>-r</constant> option set would yield output similar
95 to the following</para>

136 <para>The original Samba software and related utilities
137 were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed
138 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar
139 to the way the Linux kernel is developed.</para>
141 <para>The original Samba man pages were written by Karl Auer.
142 The man page sources were converted to YODL format (another
143 excellent piece of Open Source software, available at <ulink
144 url="ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/">ftp://ftp.icce.rug.nl/pub/unix/</ulink>)
145 and updated for the Samba 2.0 release by Jeremy Allison. The conversion to DocBook for
146 Samba 2.2 was done by Gerald Carter. The conversion to DocBook
147 XML 4.2 for Samba 3.0 was done by Alexander Bokovoy.</para>
