It also -participates in the browsing protocols which make up the Windows -"Network Neighborhood" view. -<p>SMB/CIFS clients, when they start up, may wish to locate an SMB/CIFS -server. That is, they wish to know what IP number a specified host is -using. -<p>Amongst other services, <strong>nmbd</strong> will listen for such requests, -and if its own NetBIOS name is specified it will respond with the IP -number of the host it is running on. Its "own NetBIOS name" is by -default the primary DNS name of the host it is running on, but this -can be overridden with the <strong>-n</strong> option (see <a href="nmbd.8.html#OPTIONS">OPTIONS</a> below). Thus -<strong>nmbd</strong> will reply to broadcast queries for its own name(s). Additional -names for <strong>nmbd</strong> to respond on can be set via parameters in the -<a href="smb.conf.5.html"><strong>smb.conf(5)</strong></a> configuration file. -<p><strong>nmbd</strong> can also be used as a WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) -server. What this basically means is that it will act as a WINS -database server, creating a database from name registration requests -that it receives and replying to queries from clients for these names. -<p>In addition, <strong>nmbd</strong> can act as a WINS proxy, relaying broadcast queries -from clients that do not understand how to talk the WINS protocol to a -WIN server. -<p><a name="OPTIONS"></a> -<h2>OPTIONS</h2> - -<p><dl> -<p><a name="minusD"></a> -<p></p><dt><strong><strong>-D</strong></strong><dd> If specified, this parameter causes <strong>nmbd</strong> to operate -as a daemon.

This will also cause <strong>nmbd</strong> to dump out it's server database in -the log.nmb file. In addition, the debug log level of nmbd may be raised -by sending it a SIGUSR1 (<code>kill -USR1 <nmbd-pid></code>) and lowered by sending it a -SIGUSR2 (<code>kill -USR2 <nmbd-pid></code>).
