  30. <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
    31. 

  31.     
    32. 

  32. <p>This program is part of the <strong>Samba</strong> suite.
    33. 

  33. <p><strong>nmbd</strong> is a server that understands and can reply to NetBIOS over IP
    34. 

  34. name service requests, like those produced by SMBD/CIFS clients such
    35. 

  35. as Windows 95/98, Windows NT and LanManager clients. It also
    36. 

  36. participates in the browsing protocols which make up the Windows
    37. 

  37. "Network Neighborhood" view.
    38. 

  38. <p>SMB/CIFS clients, when they start up, may wish to locate an SMB/CIFS
    39. 

  39. server. That is, they wish to know what IP number a specified host is
    40. 

  40. using.
    41. 

  41. <p>Amongst other services, <strong>nmbd</strong> will listen for such requests,
    42. 

  42. and if its own NetBIOS name is specified it will respond with the IP
    43. 

  43. number of the host it is running on.  Its "own NetBIOS name" is by
    44. 

  44. default the primary DNS name of the host it is running on, but this
    45. 

  45. can be overridden with the <strong>-n</strong> option (see <a href="nmbd.8.html#OPTIONS">OPTIONS</a> below). Thus
    46. 

  46. <strong>nmbd</strong> will reply to broadcast queries for its own name(s). Additional
    47. 

  47. names for <strong>nmbd</strong> to respond on can be set via parameters in the
    48. 

  48. <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf(5)</strong></a> configuration file.
    49. 

  49. <p><strong>nmbd</strong> can also be used as a WINS (Windows Internet Name Server)
    50. 

  50. server. What this basically means is that it will act as a WINS
    51. 

  51. database server, creating a database from name registration requests
    52. 

  52. that it receives and replying to queries from clients for these names.
    53. 

  53. <p>In addition, <strong>nmbd</strong> can act as a WINS proxy, relaying broadcast queries
    54. 

  54. from clients that do not understand how to talk the WINS protocol to a
    55. 

  55. WIN server.
    56.

    60. 

  60. <p><a name="minusD"></a>
    61. 

  61. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-D</strong></strong><dd> If specified, this parameter causes <strong>nmbd</strong> to operate
    62. 

  62. as a daemon. That is, it detaches itself and runs in the background,
    63. 

  63. fielding requests on the appropriate port. By default, <strong>nmbd</strong> will
    64. 

  64. NOT operate as a daemon. nmbd can also be operated from the inetd
    65. 

  65. meta-daemon, although this is not recommended.
    66. 

  66. <p><a name="minusa"></a>
    67. 

  67. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-a</strong></strong><dd> If this parameter is specified, each new connection will
    68. 

  68. append log messages to the log file.  This is the default.
    69. 

  69. <p><a name="minuso"></a>
    70. 

  70. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-o</strong></strong><dd> If this parameter is specified, the log files will be
    71. 

  71. overwritten when opened.  By default, the log files will be appended
    72. 

  72. to.
    73. 

  73. <p><a name="minush"></a>
    74. 

  74. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-h</strong></strong><dd> Prints the help information (usage) for <strong>nmbd</strong>.
    75. 

  75. <p><a name="minusV"></a>
    76. 

  76. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-V</strong></strong><dd> Prints the version number for <strong>nmbd</strong>.
    77. 

  77. <p><a name="minusH"></a>
    78. 

  78. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-H filename</strong></strong><dd> NetBIOS lmhosts file.
    79. 

  79. <p>The lmhosts file is a list of NetBIOS names to IP addresses that is
    80. 

  80. loaded by the nmbd server and used via the name resolution mechanism
    81. 

  81. <a href="smb.conf.5.html#nameresolveorder"><strong>name resolve order</strong></a> described in 
    82. 

  82. <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf (5)</strong></a> to resolve any
    83. 

  83. NetBIOS name queries needed by the server. Note that the contents of
    84. 

  84. this file are <em>NOT</em> used by <strong>nmbd</strong> to answer any name queries. Adding
    85. 

  85. a line to this file affects name NetBIOS resolution from this host
    86. 

  86. <em>ONLY</em>.
    87. 

  87. <p>The default path to this file is compiled into Samba as part of the
    88. 

  88. build process. Common defaults are <em>/usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts</em>,
    89. 

  89. <em>/usr/samba/lib/lmhosts</em> or <em>/etc/lmhosts</em>. See the 
    90. 

  90. <a href="lmhosts.5.html"><strong>lmhosts (5)</strong></a> man page for details on the contents of this file.
    91. 

  91. <p><a name="minusd"></a>
    92. 

  92. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-d debuglevel</strong></strong><dd> debuglevel is an integer from 0 to 10.
    93. 

  93. <p>The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
    94. 

  94. <p>The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files
    95. 

  95. about the activities of the server. At level 0, only critical errors
    96. 

  96. and serious warnings will be logged. Level 1 is a reasonable level for
    97. 

  97. day to day running - it generates a small amount of information about
    98. 

  98. operations carried out.
    99. 

  99. <p>Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
    100. 

  100. should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are
    101. 

  101. designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
    102. 

  102. data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
    103. 

  103. <p>Note that specifying this parameter here will override the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#loglevel"><strong>log
    104. 

  104. level</strong></a> parameter in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf
    105. 

  105. (5)</strong></a> file.
    106. 

  106. <p><a name="minusl"></a>
    107. 

  107. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-l logfile</strong></strong><dd> The <strong>-l</strong> parameter specifies a path and base
    108. 

  108. filename into which operational data from the running nmbd server will
    109. 

  109. be logged.  The actual log file name is generated by appending the
    110. 

  110. extension ".nmb" to the specified base name.  For example, if the name
    111. 

  111. specified was "log" then the file log.nmb would contain the debugging
    112. 

  112. data.
    113. 

  113. <p>The default log file path is compiled into Samba as part of the
    114. 

  114. build process. Common defaults are <em>/usr/local/samba/var/log.nmb</em>,
    115. 

  115. <em>/usr/samba/var/log.nmb</em> or <em>/var/log/log.nmb</em>.

  116. <p><a name="minusn"></a>
    117. 

  117. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-n primary NetBIOS name</strong></strong><dd> This option allows you to override
    118. 

  118. the NetBIOS name that Samba uses for itself. This is identical to
    119. 

  119. setting the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#netbiosname"><strong>NetBIOS name</strong></a> parameter
    120. 

  120. in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file
    121. 

  121. but will override the setting in the <a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf</strong></a> file.

  122. <p><a name="minusp"></a>
    123. 

  123. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-p UDP port number</strong></strong><dd> UDP port number is a positive integer value.
    124. 

  124. <p>This option changes the default UDP port number (normally 137) that
    125. 

  125. <strong>nmbd</strong> responds to name queries on. Don't use this option unless you are
    126. 

  126. an expert, in which case you won't need help!
    127. 

  127. <p><a name="minuss"></a>
    128. 

  128. <p></p><dt><strong><strong>-s configuration file</strong></strong><dd> The default configuration file name is
    129. 

  129. set at build time, typically as <em>/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf</em>, but
    130. 

  130. this may be changed when Samba is autoconfigured.
    131. 

  131. <p>The file specified contains the configuration details required by the

    142. 

  142. <p>If running the server as a daemon at startup, this file will need to
    143. 

  143. contain an appropriate startup sequence for the server.
    144. 

  144. <p><strong>/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf</strong>

  148. <em>/usr/samba/lib/smb.conf</em> and <em>/etc/smb.conf</em>.
    149. 

  149. <p>When run as a <strong>WINS</strong> server (see the <a href="smb.conf.5.html#winssupport"><strong>wins support</strong></a>

    160. 

  160. <p>To shut down an <strong>nmbd</strong> process it is recommended that SIGKILL (-9)
    161. 

  161. <em>NOT</em> be used, except as a last resort, as this may leave the name
    162. 

  162. database in an inconsistent state. The correct way to terminate
    163. 

  163. <strong>nmbd</strong> is to send it a SIGTERM (-15) signal and wait for it to die on
    164. 

  164. its own.
    165. 

  165. <p><strong>nmbd</strong> will accept SIGHUP, which will cause it to dump out it's
    166. 

  166. namelists into the file <code>namelist.debug</code> in the
    167. 

  167. <em>/usr/local/samba/var/locks</em> directory (or the <em>var/locks</em>
    168. 

  168. directory configured under wherever Samba was configured to install
    169. 

  169. itself). This will also cause <strong>nmbd</strong> to dump out it's server database in
    170. 

  170. the log.nmb file. In addition, the debug log level of nmbd may be raised
    171. 

  171. by sending it a SIGUSR1 (<code>kill -USR1 &lt;nmbd-pid&gt;</code>) and lowered by sending it a
    172. 

  172. SIGUSR2 (<code>kill -USR2 &lt;nmbd-pid&gt;</code>). This is to allow transient
    173. 

  173. problems to be diagnosed, whilst still running at a normally low log
