DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 37
n The IP address should begin in the first column,
followed by the corresponding computer name
(entries in the LMHOSTS file are not case-
sensitive).
n The address and the computer name should be
separated by at least one space or tab.
n The number sign (#) character is typically used to
mark the start of a comment. However, this
character can also be used to designate special
keywords, as described in this section.
The keywords listed in the following table can be used
in the LMHOSTS file. Notice, however, that LAN
Manager 2.x treats these keywords as comments.
Keyword Definition
#PRE Added after an entry to cause
that entry to be preloaded into
the name cache. #PRE entries in
the LMHOSTS file are looked up
and cached prior to WINS look-
up. #PRE must be appended for
entries that also appear in
#INCLUDE statements;
otherwise, the entry in
#INCLUDE is ignored.
#DOM:domain Added after an entry to
associate that entry with the
domain specified by domain.
This keyword affects how the
Browser and Logon services
behave in routed TCP/IP
environments. To preload a
#DOM entry, you must also add
the #PRE keyword to the line.
