Package: nmbd Priority: optional Version: 1.9.18p10-3 Source: samba Architecture: __ARCH__ Maintainer: Paul A. Whittaker Section: System/Network Destination: any Depends: smb-codepages, initscript, busybox (>= 1.11.2-1), libc6 (>= 2.7-1) Description: NetBIOS nameserver This is the nmbd component from Samba 1.x. It is packaged separately from smbd for two reasons: first, because you might only want the NetBIOS-SSN server (smbd) and be willing to forgo the ability to browse shares; second, because - conversely - nmbd is useful in its own right as an easy means of establishing a name-to-IP-address mapping so that (from Windows machines, at least) you can reference your DIET-PC by name rather than IP address. Nmbd can also function as a WINS server, if for some bizarre reason you need one of those. . To avoid version conflicts, nmbd uses a separate configuration file (/etc/samba/nmb.conf) rather than smb.conf.
