3 suite.</p><p><span><strong class="command">findsmb</strong></span> is a perl script that
4 prints out several pieces of information about machines

6 It uses <a href="nmblookup.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">nmblookup</span>(1)</span></a>
7 and <a href="smbclient.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">smbclient</span>(1)</span></a>

10 bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name
11 registered of the remote machine. This option is disabled by default
12 because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only.
13 If set, <a href="nmblookup.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">nmblookup</span>(1)</span></a>

17 is run. This value is passed to
18 <a href="nmblookup.1.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">nmblookup</span>(1)</span></a>

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
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.
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
38 to the following</p><pre class="programlisting">
