| 20 | information for all machines that respond to the initial |
|---|
| 21 | <span><strong class="command">nmblookup</strong></span> 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 for Workgroups, Windows 95 or |
|---|
| 27 | Windows 98 will |
|---|
| 28 | not show any information about the operating system or server |
|---|
| 29 | version.</p><p>The command with <code class="constant">-r</code> option |
|---|
| 30 | 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 | |
|---|
| 32 | If <span><strong class="command">nmbd</strong></span> is running on the system, you will |
|---|
| 33 | only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine. To |
|---|
| 34 | get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, |
|---|
| 35 | the command must be run as root and with <code class="constant">-r</code> |
|---|
| 36 | option on a machine without <span><strong class="command">nmbd</strong></span> running.</p><p>For example, running <span><strong class="command">findsmb</strong></span> |
|---|
| 37 | without <code class="constant">-r</code> option set would yield output similar |
