4 findsmb \- list info about machines that respond to SMB name queries on a subnet
8 \fBfindsmb\fP [subnet broadcast address]
12 This perl script is part of the \fBSamba\fP suite\&.
14 \fBfindsmb\fP is a perl script that prints out several pieces
15 of information about machines on a subnet that respond to SMB
16 name query requests\&.
17 It uses \fBnmblookup\fP and
18 \fBsmbclient\fP to obtain this information\&.
23 .IP "\fBsubnet broadcast address\fP"
24 Without this option, \fBfindsmb\fP
25 will probe the subnet of the machine where \fBfindsmb\fP is run\&.
26 This value is passed to \fBnmblookup\fP as part of the \fB-B\fP
32 The output of \fBfindsmb\fP lists the following information for all
33 machines that respond to the initial \fBnmblookup\fP for any name:
34 IP address, NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and
37 There will be a "+" in front of the workgroup name for machines that are
38 local master browsers for that workgroup\&. There will be an "*" in front
39 of the workgroup name for machines that are the domain master browser for
40 that workgroup\&. Machines that are running Windows, Windows 95 or Windows 98
41 will not show any information about the operating system or server version\&.
43 The command must be run on a system without
44 \fBnmbd\fP running\&. If \fBnmbd\fP is running on the system, you will only
45 get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine\&. To get proper responses
46 from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, the command must be run as root\&.
52 on a machine without \fBnmbd\fP running would yield output similar
59 IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION

86 This perl script was developed by Herb Lewis of SGI\&.
88 The original Samba software and related utilities were created by
89 Andrew Tridgell \fIsamba@samba\&.org\fP\&. Samba is now developed
90 by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the
91 Linux kernel is developed\&.
