this module deals with general maintenance of NetBIOS names.
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
query_refresh_names()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for polling all names registered in the
|
|
WINS database. it is planned to enable this function should samba
|
|
detect an inconsistency on the network, which could occur if the
|
|
samba NetBIOS daemon dies and is restarted.
|
|
|
|
polling is done very infrequently, but all names will be covered
|
|
within a period NAME_POLL_REFRESH_TIME. a group of at most ten names
|
|
will be queried at once, at intervals of NAME_POLL_INTERVAL seconds.
|
|
if the total number of names queried in this way will take too long,
|
|
then the time that an individual name will next be polled is
|
|
increased accordingly.
|
|
|
|
name query polling is functionality over-and-above the normal
|
|
requirement (see rfc1001.txt 15.1.7 point 7). it is normally the
|
|
responsibility of the owner of a name to re-register the name at
|
|
regular intervals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
refresh_my_names()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for refreshing samba's names that have
|
|
been registered with other servers on a local subnet, or with another
|
|
WINS server if samba is using one.
|
|
|
|
samba's names' refresh_time will be updated through the use of the function
|
|
add_my_name_entry().
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
remove_my_names()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for removing all samba's SELF names. it
|
|
is used when samba receives a SIG_TERM. samba at present does not wait
|
|
for the WINS server to reply to the name releases sent out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
add_my_names()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for adding and registering if necessary all
|
|
samba's SELF names, on each of its local subnets and with another WINS
|
|
server if samba is using one.
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
add_my_name_entry()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for registering or re-registering one of
|
|
samba's names, either on the local subnet or with another WINS server
|
|
if samba is using one.
|
|
|
|
if the name is already in samba's database, then it is re-registered,
|
|
otherwise it is simply registered.
|
|
|
|
if the name is being registered in a WINS capacity (the subnet to which
|
|
the name should be added is the WINS pseudo-subnet) then we add the entry
|
|
immediately if samba is a WINS server. it uses name_register_work()
|
|
because if the name is being added as part of becoming a master browser,
|
|
we want to carry on that process. if the name is registered with another
|
|
WINS server, we must wait for an answer from that WINS server. either
|
|
name_register_work() or name_unregister_work() will be called as a result.
|
|
|
|
if the name is being registered on a local subnet, then it is
|
|
broadcast. an explicit rejection from another host will result
|
|
in name_unregister_work() being called. no response will, after
|
|
retrying, result in name_register_work() being called.
|
|
|
|
what ever method is used, the name will either be registered
|
|
or rejected, and what ever process was taking place (becoming
|
|
a master browser for example) will carry on.
|
|
|
|
expire_netbios_response_entries() is responsible for taking further
|
|
action if no response to the registration is received.
|
|
|
|
note that there may be a large number of function calls on the
|
|
stack if become_master() is called and samba is configured as
|
|
a WINS server. the loop will be:
|
|
|
|
become_master(), add_my_name_entry(), name_register_work() and
|
|
back to become_master() with the new value of the workgroup
|
|
'state'.

/*************************************************************************
|
|
remove_name_entry()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for removing a NetBIOS name. if the name
|
|
being removed is registered on a local subnet, a name release should be
|
|
broadcast on the local subnet.
|
|
|
|
if the name is being released in a WINS capacity (the subnet to
|
|
which the name should be added is the WINS pseudo-subnet) then we
|
|
remove the entry immediately if samba is a WINS server. it uses
|
|
name_unregister_work() because if the name is being added as part of
|
|
becoming a master browser, we want to terminate that process. if the
|
|
name is released from another WINS server, we must wait for an
|
|
answer from that WINS server. name_unregister_work() will
|
|
definitely be called as a result, because at present we ignore
|
|
negative responses for a name release from a WINS server.
|
|
|
|
if the name is being releasedd on a local subnet, then it is
|
|
broadcast. name_unregister_work() will definitely be called
|
|
because we ignore negative name releases at present.
|
|
|
|
what ever method is used, the name will be released. (NOT TRUE!
|
|
see response_name_release())
|
|
|
|
expire_netbios_response_entries() is responsible for taking further action
|
|
if no response to the name release is received.
|
|
|
|
|
|
/*************************************************************************
|
|
load_netbios_names()
|
|
*************************************************************************/
|
|
|
|
this function is responsible for loading any NetBIOS names that samba,
|
|
in its WINS capacity, has written out to disk. all the relevant details
|
|
are recorded in this file, including the time-to-live. should the
|
|
time left to live be small, the name is not added back in to samba's
|
|
WINS database.
