7.2.2 /var/opt/nbrfc/bin/mv_names

The mv_names command is used during an update installation of the nbrfc package to convert the configuration of the name table. The NetBIOS name mappings contained in the [NBRFC] section of an old style nbrfc.cfg configuration file (used by NetBIOS versions <=3.5A) are written to the names.cfg file. The script is invoked automatically by the instal- lation program, but it can also be used manually.

Syntax:

w s Ly u

Parameters:

pathname The path name of the file which should be used to extract name mappings. If <pathname> is not given /var/opt/nbrfc/nbrfc.cfg is used by default.

The /var/opt/nbrfc/nbrfc.cfg file is copied to the /tmp directory during removal of an i old nbrfc package. If you have a copy of this file, you can invoke this command at

any time in order to convert the name table.

Sample names.cfg file:

SERVER1 144.145.111.71 UN #20,03,00

CLIENT1 144.145.123.5 UN #20,03,00

7.2.3 /var/opt/nbrfc/bin/names2lm

The names2lm command is used to convert a file containing NetBIOS-name-to-IP-address mappings in names.cfg-format into the format of an LMHOSTS file usually used by Microsoft networking components. LMHOSTS format is needed to import static mappings into a WINS database. The command is invoked automatically during installation - it creates the file names.imp -, but it can also be used manually at any time.

Syntax:
