Timur I. Bakeyev 2daf87ac19 net/samba416: New port for Samba 4.16
This is an initial attempt to add Samba to the FreeBSD after major
rewrite of the VFS code in the upstream.

Most of the port development is now carried in:

     https://gitlab.com/samba-freebsd

Due to the way how new Samba VFS code is written there is a constrain
that Samba 4.14+ can run only on FreeBSD 13.1+, as it requires support
of the `nodup` option for the `fdesc` file system, as well as it's
presence in the system in general.

I'd like to thank CyberSecure Pty Ltd. company for their supoort of
the port development and Andrew Walker from iXsystems Inc. for the
patches he created and made available for the Samba4 on TrueNAS.

.SH "NAME"
lmhosts \- The Samba NetBIOS hosts file
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.PP
lmhosts
is the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This file is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
lmhosts
is the
\fISamba \fR
NetBIOS name to IP address mapping file\&. It is very similar to the
/etc/hosts
file format, except that the hostname component must correspond to the NetBIOS naming format\&.
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
.PP
It is an ASCII file containing one line for NetBIOS name\&. The two fields on each line are separated from each other by white space\&. Any entry beginning with \*(Aq#\*(Aq is ignored\&. Each line in the lmhosts file contains the following information:
.RS
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
IP Address \- in dotted decimal format\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP \(bu 2.3
.\}
NetBIOS Name \- This name format is a maximum fifteen character host name, with an optional trailing \*(Aq#\*(Aq character followed by the NetBIOS name type as two hexadecimal digits\&.
.sp
If the trailing \*(Aq#\*(Aq is omitted then the given IP address will be returned for all names that match the given name, whatever the NetBIOS name type in the lookup\&.
.RE
.sp
.RE
.PP
An example follows:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
#
# Sample Samba lmhosts file\&.
#
192\&.9\&.200\&.1 TESTPC
192\&.9\&.200\&.20 NTSERVER#20
192\&.9\&.200\&.21 SAMBASERVER
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Contains three IP to NetBIOS name mappings\&. The first and third will be returned for any queries for the names "TESTPC" and "SAMBASERVER" respectively, whatever the type component of the NetBIOS name requested\&.
.PP
The second mapping will be returned only when the "0x20" name type for a name "NTSERVER" is queried\&. Any other name type will not be resolved\&.
.PP
The default location of the
lmhosts
file is in the same directory as the
\fBsmb.conf\fR(5)
file\&.
.SH "FILES"
.PP
lmhosts is loaded from the configuration directory\&. This is usually
/etc/samba
or
/usr/local/samba/lib\&.
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is part of version 4\&.16\&.4 of the Samba suite\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.PP
\fBsmbclient\fR(1),
\fBsmb.conf\fR(5), and
\fBsmbpasswd\fR(8)
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
The 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\&.
