NAMEfindsmb − list info about machines that respond to SMB name queries on a subnet

SYNOPSISfindsmb [subnet broadcast address]

DESCRIPTIONThis perl script is part of the samba(7) suite​. findsmb is a perl script that prints out several pieces of information about machines on a subnet that respond to SMB name query requests​. It uses nmblookup(1) and smbclient(1) to obtain this information​.

OPTIONS−r Controls whether findsmb takes bugs in Windows95 into account when trying to find a Netbios name registered of the remote machine​. This option is disabled by default because it is specific to Windows 95 and Windows 95 machines only​. If set, nmblookup(1) will be called with −B option​. subnet broadcast address Without this option, findsmb will probe the subnet of the machine where findsmb(1) is run​. This value is passed to nmblookup(1) as part of the −B option​.

EXAMPLESThe output of findsmb lists the following information for all machines that respond to the initial nmblookup for any name: IP address, NetBIOS name, Workgroup name, operating system, and SMB server version​. There will be a '+' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are local master browsers for that workgroup​. There will be an '*' in front of the workgroup name for machines that are the domain master browser for that workgroup​. Machines that are running Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 or Windows 98 will not show any information about the operating system or server version​. The command with −r option must be run on a system without nmbd(8) running​. If nmbd is running on the system, you will only get the IP address and the DNS name of the machine​. To get proper responses from Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, the command must be run as root and with −r option on a machine without nmbd running​. For example, running findsmb without −r option set would yield output similar to the following IP ADDR NETBIOS NAME WORKGROUP/OS/VERSION −−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 192​.168​.35​.10 MINESET−TEST1 [DMVENGR] 192​.168​.35​.55 LINUXBOX *[MYGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 2​.0​.6] 192​.168​.35​.56 HERBNT2 [HERB−NT] 192​.168​.35​.63 GANDALF [MVENGR] [Unix] [Samba 2​.0​.5a for IRIX] 192​.168​.35​.65 SAUNA [WORKGROUP] [Unix] [Samba 1​.9​.18p10] 192​.168​.35​.71 FROGSTAR [ENGR] [Unix] [Samba 2​.0​.0 for IRIX] 192​.168​.35​.78 HERBDHCP1 +[HERB] 192​.168​.35​.88 SCNT2 +[MVENGR] [Windows NT 4​.0] [NT LAN Manager 4​.0] 192​.168​.35​.93 FROGSTAR−PC [MVENGR] [Windows 5​.0] [Windows 2000 LAN Manager] 192​.168​.35​.97 HERBNT1 *[HERB−NT] [Windows NT 4​.0] [NT LAN Manager 4​.0]

AUTHORThe original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell​. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed​.
