  20         information for all machines that respond to the initial
  21         <b class="command">nmblookup</b> for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name,
  22         Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version.</p><p>There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for
  23         machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup. There
  24         will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for
  25         machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup.
  26         Machines that are running Windows, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will
  27         not show any information about the operating system or server
  28         version.</p><p>The command with <tt class="constant">-r</tt> option
  29         must be run on a system without <a href="nmbd.8.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">nmbd</span>(8)</span></a>  running.

  31         If <b class="command">nmbd</b> is running on the system, you will
  32         only  get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To
  33         get proper responses  from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines,
  34         the command must be run as root and with <tt class="constant">-r</tt>
  35         option on a machine without <b class="command">nmbd</b> running.</p><p>For example, running <b class="command">findsmb</b>
  36         without <tt class="constant">-r</tt> option set would yield output similar
  37         to the following</p><pre class="screen">
