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:

mv_names [ <pathname> ]

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

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:

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:

names2lm -d

names2lm <names_file> <lmhosts_file>
