>This book is a collection of documents that might be useful for
people developing samba or those interested in doing so.
It's nothing more than a collection of documents written by samba developers about
the internals of various parts of samba and the SMB protocol. It's still incomplete.

NAME="AEN24">NETBIOS</H2
><P
>NetBIOS runs over the following tranports: TCP/IP; NetBEUI and IPX/SPX.
Samba only uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP. For details on the TCP/IP NetBIOS
Session Service NetBIOS Datagram Service, and NetBIOS Names, see
rfc1001.txt and rfc1002.txt.</P
><P
>
NetBEUI is a raw NetBIOS frame protocol implementation that allows NetBIOS
datagrams to be sent out over the 'wire' embedded within LLC frames.
NetBEUI is not required when using NetBIOS over TCP/IP protocols and it
is preferable NOT to install NetBEUI if it can be avoided.</P
><P
>
IPX/SPX is also not required when using NetBIOS over TCP/IP, and it is
preferable NOT to install the IPX/SPX transport unless you are using Novell
servers. At the very least, it is recommended that you do not install
'NetBIOS over IPX/SPX'.</P
><P
>[When installing Windows 95, you will find that NetBEUI and IPX/SPX are
installed as the default protocols. This is because they are the simplest
to manage: no Windows 95 user-configuration is required].</P
><P
>
NetBIOS applications (such as samba) offer their services (for example,
SMB file and print sharing) on a NetBIOS name. They must claim this name
on the network before doing so. The NetBIOS session service will then
accept connections on the application's behalf (on the NetBIOS name
claimed by the application). A NetBIOS session between the application
and the client can then commence.</P
><P
>
NetBIOS names consist of 15 characters plus a 'type' character. This is
similar, in concept, to an IP address and a TCP port number, respectively.
A NetBIOS-aware application on a host will offer different services under
different NetBIOS name types, just as a host will offer different TCP/IP
services on different port numbers.</P
><P
>
NetBIOS names must be claimed on a network, and must be defended. The use
of NetBIOS names is most suitable on a single subnet; a Local Area Network
or a Wide Area Network.</P
><P
>
NetBIOS names are either UNIQUE or GROUP. Only one application can claim a
UNIQUE NetBIOS name on a network.</P
><P
>There are two kinds of NetBIOS Name resolution: Broadcast and Point-to-Point.</P

Clients can claim names, and therefore offer services on successfully claimed
names, on their broadcast-isolated subnet. One way to get NetBIOS services
(such as browsing: see ftp.microsoft.com/drg/developr/CIFS/browdiff.txt; and
SMB file/print sharing: see cifs4.txt) working on a LAN or WAN is to make
your routers forward all broadcast packets from TCP/IP ports 137, 138 and 139.</P
><P
>
This, however, is not recommended. If you have a large LAN or WAN, you will
find that some of your hosts spend 95 percent of their time dealing with
broadcast traffic. [If you have IPX/SPX on your LAN or WAN, you will find
that this is already happening: a packet analyzer will show, roughly
every twelve minutes, great swathes of broadcast traffic!].</P

><P
>rfc1001.txt describes, amongst other things, the implementation and use
of, a 'NetBIOS Name Service'. NT/AS offers 'Windows Internet Name Service'
which is fully rfc1001/2 compliant, but has had to take specific action
with certain NetBIOS names in order to make it useful. (for example, it
deals with the registration of &#60;1c&#62; &#60;1d&#62; &#60;1e&#62; names all in different ways.
I recommend the reading of the Microsoft WINS Server Help files for full
details).</P
><P
>
The use of a WINS server cuts down on broadcast network traffic for
NetBIOS name resolution. It has the effect of pulling all the broadcast
isolated subnets together into a single NetBIOS scope, across your LAN
or WAN, while avoiding the use of TCP/IP broadcast packets.</P
><P
>When you have a WINS server on your LAN, WINS clients will be able to
contact the WINS server to resolve NetBIOS names. Note that only those
WINS clients that have registered with the same WINS server will be
visible. The WINS server _can_ have static NetBIOS entries added to its
database (usually for security reasons you might want to consider putting
your domain controllers or other important servers as static entries,
but you should not rely on this as your sole means of security), but for
the most part, NetBIOS names are registered dynamically.</P
><P
>This provides some confusion for lots of people, and is worth mentioning
here: a Browse Server is NOT a WINS Server, even if these services are
implemented in the same application. A Browse Server _needs_ a WINS server
because a Browse Server is a WINS client, which is _not_ the same thing].</P
><P
>Clients can claim names, and therefore offer services on successfully claimed
names, on their broadcast-isolated subnet. One way to get NetBIOS services
(such as browsing: see ftp.microsoft.com/drg/developr/CIFS/browdiff.txt; and
SMB file/print sharing: see cifs6.txt) working on a LAN or WAN is to make
your routers forward all broadcast packets from TCP/IP ports 137, 138 and 139.
You will find, however, if you do this on a large LAN or a WAN, that your
network is completely swamped by NetBIOS and browsing packets, which is why
WINS was developed to minimise the necessity of broadcast traffic.</P
><P
>
WINS Clients therefore claim names from the WINS server. If the WINS
server allows them to register a name, the client's NetBIOS session service
can then offer services on this name. Other WINS clients will then
contact the WINS server to resolve a NetBIOS name.</P

nice in their place but are quite inappropriate for smbd. nmbd is
another matter, and multi-threading it would be very nice. </P
><P
>The short version is that smbd is not multithreaded, and alternative
servers that take this approach under Unix (such as Syntax, at the
time of writing) suffer tremendous performance penalties and are less
robust. nmbd is not threaded either, but this is because it is not
possible to do it while keeping code consistent and portable across 35
or more platforms. (This drawback also applies to threading smbd.)</P
><P
>The longer versions is that there are very good reasons for not making
smbd multi-threaded. Multi-threading would actually make Samba much
slower, less scalable, less portable and much less robust. The fact
that we use a separate process for each connection is one of Samba's
biggest advantages.</P

NAME="AEN86">Threading nmbd</H2
><P
>This would be ideal, but gets sunk by portability requirements.</P
><P
>Andrew tried to write a test threads library for nmbd that used only
ansi-C constructs (using setjmp and longjmp). Unfortunately some OSes
defeat this by restricting longjmp to calling addresses that are
shallower than the current address on the stack (apparently AIX does
this). This makes a truly portable threads library impossible. So to
support all our current platforms we would have to code nmbd both with
and without threads, and as the real aim of threads is to make the
code clearer we would not have gained anything. (it is a myth that
threads make things faster. threading is like recursion, it can make
things clear but the same thing can always be done faster by some
other method)</P
><P
>Chris tried to spec out a general design that would abstract threading
vs separate processes (vs other methods?) and make them accessible
through some general API. This doesn't work because of the data
sharing requirements of the protocol (packets in the future depending
on packets now, etc.) At least, the code would work but would be very
clumsy, and besides the fork() type model would never work on Unix. (Is there an OS that it would work on, for nmbd?)</P
><P
>A fork() is cheap, but not nearly cheap enough to do on every UDP
packet that arrives. Having a pool of processes is possible but is
nasty to program cleanly due to the enormous amount of shared data (in
complex structures) between the processes. We can't rely on each
platform having a shared memory system.</P

NAME="AEN92">nbmd Design</H2
><P
>Originally Andrew used recursion to simulate a multi-threaded
environment, which use the stack enormously and made for really
confusing debugging sessions. Luke Leighton rewrote it to use a
queuing system that keeps state information on each packet. The
first version used a single structure which was used by all the
pending states. As the initialisation of this structure was
done by adding arguments, as the functionality developed, it got
pretty messy. So, it was replaced with a higher-order function
and a pointer to a user-defined memory block. This suddenly
made things much simpler: large numbers of functions could be
made static, and modularised. This is the same principle as used
in NT's kernel, and achieves the same effect as threads, but in
a single process.</P
><P
>Then Jeremy rewrote nmbd. The packet data in nmbd isn't what's on the
wire. It's a nice format that is very amenable to processing but still
keeps the idea of a distinct packet. See "struct packet_struct" in
nameserv.h. It has all the detail but none of the on-the-wire
mess. This makes it ideal for using in disk or memory-based databases
for browsing and WINS support. </P

practices used at this time on the Samba project. The coding practices are

Samba. First and foremost remember that:</P
><P
>Portability is a primary consideration in adding function, as is network
compatability with de facto, existing, real world CIFS/SMB implementations.
There are lots of platforms that Samba builds on so use caution when adding
a call to a library function that is not invoked in existing Samba code.
Also note that there are many quite different SMB/CIFS clients that Samba
tries to support, not all of which follow the SNIA CIFS Technical Reference
(or the earlier Microsoft reference documents or the X/Open book on the SMB
Standard) perfectly.</P

> the two main pull_ and push_ functions you need to understand are
pull_string and push_string. These functions take a base pointer
that should point at the start of the SMB packet that the string is
in. The functions will check the flags field in this packet to
automatically determine if the packet is marked as a unicode packet,
and they will choose whether to use unicode for this string based on
that flag. You may also force this decision using the STR_UNICODE or
STR_ASCII flags. For use in smbd/ and libsmb/ there are wrapper
functions clistr_ and srvstr_ that call the pull_/push_ functions
with the appropriate first argument.

common arguments, such as pull_ascii_pstring()

> The biggest thing to remember is that internal (unix) strings in Samba
may now contain multi-byte characters. This means you cannot assume
that characters are always 1 byte long. Often this means that you will
have to convert strings to ucs2 and back again in order to do some
(seemingly) simple task. For examples of how to do this see functions
like strchr_m(). I know this is very slow, and we will eventually
speed it up but right now we want this stuff correct not fast.</P

CLASS="SECT1"
><A
NAME="AEN544">Usernames</H2
><P
>The SMB protocol has only a loose username concept. Early SMB
protocols (such as CORE and COREPLUS) have no username concept at
all. Even in later protocols clients often attempt operations
(particularly printer operations) without first validating a username
on the server.</P
><P
>Unix security is based around username/password pairs. A unix box
should not allow clients to do any substantive operation without some
sort of validation. </P
><P
>The problem mostly manifests itself when the unix server is in "share
level" security mode. This is the default mode as the alternative
"user level" security mode usually forces a client to connect to the
server as the same user for each connected share, which is
inconvenient in many sites.</P
><P
>In "share level" security the client normally gives a username in the
"session setup" protocol, but does not supply an accompanying
password. The client then connects to resources using the "tree
connect" protocol, and supplies a password. The problem is that the
user on the PC types the username and the password in different
contexts, unaware that they need to go together to give access to the
server. The username is normally the one the user typed in when they
"logged onto" the PC (this assumes Windows for Workgroups). The
password is the one they chose when connecting to the disk or printer.</P
><P
>The user often chooses a totally different username for their login as
for the drive connection. Often they also want to access different
drives as different usernames. The unix server needs some way of
divining the correct username to combine with each password.</P
><P
>Samba tries to avoid this problem using several methods. These succeed
in the vast majority of cases. The methods include username maps, the
service%user syntax, the saving of session setup usernames for later
validation and the derivation of the username from the service name
(either directly or via the user= option).</P

NAME="AEN552">File Ownership</H2
><P
>The commonly used SMB protocols have no way of saying "you can't do
that because you don't own the file". They have, in fact, no concept
of file ownership at all.</P
><P
>This brings up all sorts of interesting problems. For example, when
you copy a file to a unix drive, and the file is world writeable but
owned by another user the file will transfer correctly but will
receive the wrong date. This is because the utime() call under unix
only succeeds for the owner of the file, or root, even if the file is
world writeable. For security reasons Samba does all file operations
as the validated user, not root, so the utime() fails. This can stuff
up shared development diectories as programs like "make" will not get
file time comparisons right.</P
><P
>There are several possible solutions to this problem, including
username mapping, and forcing a specific username for particular
shares.</P

NAME="AEN557">Passwords</H2
><P
>Many SMB clients uppercase passwords before sending them. I have no
idea why they do this. Interestingly WfWg uppercases the password only
if the server is running a protocol greater than COREPLUS, so
obviously it isn't just the data entry routines that are to blame.</P
><P
>Unix passwords are case sensitive. So if users use mixed case
passwords they are in trouble.</P
><P
>Samba can try to cope with this by either using the "password level"
option which causes Samba to try the offered password with up to the
specified number of case changes, or by using the "password server"
option which allows Samba to do its validation via another machine
(typically a WinNT server).</P
><P
>Samba supports the password encryption method used by SMB
clients. Note that the use of password encryption in Microsoft
networking leads to password hashes that are "plain text equivalent".
This means that it is *VERY* important to ensure that the Samba
smbpasswd file containing these password hashes is only readable
by the root user. See the documentation ENCRYPTION.txt for more
details.</P

NAME="AEN563">Locking</H2
><P
>The locking calls available under a DOS/Windows environment are much
richer than those available in unix. This means a unix server (like
Samba) choosing to use the standard fcntl() based unix locking calls
to implement SMB locking has to improvise a bit.</P
><P
>One major problem is that dos locks can be in a 32 bit (unsigned)
range. Unix locking calls are 32 bits, but are signed, giving only a 31
bit range. Unfortunately OLE2 clients use the top bit to select a
locking range used for OLE semaphores.</P
><P
>To work around this problem Samba compresses the 32 bit range into 31
bits by appropriate bit shifting. This seems to work but is not
ideal. In a future version a separate SMB lockd may be added to cope
with the problem.</P
><P
>It also doesn't help that many unix lockd daemons are very buggy and
crash at the slightest provocation. They normally go mostly unused in
a unix environment because few unix programs use byte range
locking. The stress of huge numbers of lock requests from dos/windows
clients can kill the daemon on some systems.</P
><P
>The second major problem is the "opportunistic locking" requested by
some clients. If a client requests opportunistic locking then it is
asking the server to notify it if anyone else tries to do something on
the same file, at which time the client will say if it is willing to
give up its lock. Unix has no simple way of implementing
opportunistic locking, and currently Samba has no support for it.</P

be placed on the file. These modes (DENY_NONE, DENY_READ, DENY_WRITE,
DENY_ALL, DENY_FCB and DENY_DOS) specify what actions should be
allowed by anyone else who tries to use the file at the same time. If
DENY_READ is placed on the file, for example, then any attempt to open
the file for reading should fail.</P
><P
>Unix has no equivalent notion. To implement this Samba uses either lock
files based on the files inode and placed in a separate lock
directory or a shared memory implementation. The lock file method
is clumsy and consumes processing and file resources,
the shared memory implementation is vastly prefered and is turned on
by default for those systems that support it.</P

>A SMB session can run with several uids on the one socket. This
happens when a user connects to two shares with different
usernames. To cope with this the unix server needs to switch uids
within the one process. On some unixes (such as SCO) this is not
possible. This means that on those unixes the client is restricted to
a single uid.</P

><P
>There is a convention that clients on sockets use high "unprivilaged"
port numbers (&#62;1000) and connect to servers on low "privilaged" port
numbers. This is enforced in Unix as non-root users can't open a
socket for listening on port numbers less than 1000.</P
><P
>Most PC based SMB clients (such as WfWg and WinNT) don't follow this
convention completely. The main culprit is the netbios nameserving on
udp port 137. Name query requests come from a source port of 137. This
is a problem when you combine it with the common firewalling technique
of not allowing incoming packets on low port numbers. This means that
these clients can't query a netbios nameserver on the other side of a
low port based firewall.</P
><P
>The problem is more severe with netbios node status queries. I've
found that WfWg, Win95 and WinNT3.5 all respond to netbios node status
queries on port 137 no matter what the source port was in the
request. This works between machines that are both using port 137, but
it means it's not possible for a unix user to do a node status request
to any of these OSes unless they are running as root. The answer comes
back, but it goes to port 137 which the unix user can't listen
on. Interestingly WinNT3.1 got this right - it sends node status
responses back to the source port in the request.</P

NAME="AEN583">Protocol Complexity</H2
><P
>There are many "protocol levels" in the SMB protocol. It seems that
each time new functionality was added to a Microsoft operating system,
they added the equivalent functions in a new protocol level of the SMB
protocol to "externalise" the new capabilities.</P
><P
>This means the protocol is very "rich", offering many ways of doing
each file operation. This means SMB servers need to be complex and
large. It also means it is very difficult to make them bug free. It is
not just Samba that suffers from this problem, other servers such as
WinNT don't support every variation of every call and it has almost
certainly been a headache for MS developers to support the myriad of
SMB calls that are available.</P
><P
>There are about 65 "top level" operations in the SMB protocol (things
like SMBread and SMBwrite). Some of these include hundreds of
sub-functions (SMBtrans has at least 120 sub-functions, like
DosPrintQAdd and NetSessionEnum). All of them take several options
that can change the way they work. Many take dozens of possible
"information levels" that change the structures that need to be
returned. Samba supports all but 2 of the "top level" functions. It
supports only 8 (so far) of the SMBtrans sub-functions. Even NT
doesn't support them all.</P
><P
>Samba currently supports up to the "NT LM 0.12" protocol, which is the
one preferred by Win95 and WinNT3.5. Luckily this protocol level has a
"capabilities" field which specifies which super-duper new-fangled
options the server suports. This helps to make the implementation of
this protocol level much easier.</P
><P
>There is also a problem with the SMB specications. SMB is a X/Open
spec, but the X/Open book is far from ideal, and fails to cover many
important issues, leaving much to the imagination. Microsoft recently
renamed the SMB protocol CIFS (Common Internet File System) and have
published new specifications. These are far superior to the old
X/Open documents but there are still undocumented calls and features.
This specification is actively being worked on by a CIFS developers
mailing list hosted by Microsft.</P

>Actually its not as bad as the the above makes it sound, just don't
expect the output to be very pretty :-)</P
><P
>Ok, down to business. One of the big advantages of unix systems is
that they nearly all come with a system trace utility that allows you
to monitor all system calls that a program is making. This is
extremely using for debugging and also helps when trying to work out
why something is slower than you expect. You can use system tracing
without any special compilation options. </P
><P
>The system trace utility is called different things on different
systems. On Linux systems its called strace. Under SunOS 4 its called
trace. Under SVR4 style systems (including solaris) its called
truss. Under many BSD systems its called ktrace. </P
><P
>The first thing you should do is read the man page for your native
system call tracer. In the discussion below I'll assume its called
strace as strace is the only portable system tracer (its available for
free for many unix types) and its also got some of the nicest
features.</P

ls</B

>
You'll notice that it produces a LOT of output. It is showing you the
arguments to every system call that the program makes and the
result. Very little happens in a program without a system call so you
get lots of output. You'll also find that it produces a lot of
"preamble" stuff showing the loading of shared libraries etc. Ignore
this (unless its going wrong!)</P

>Ok, now you're familiar with strace. To use it on Samba you need to
strace the running smbd daemon. The way I tend ot use it is to first
login from my Windows PC to the Samba server, then use smbstatus to
find which process ID that client is attached to, then as root I do
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>strace -p PID</B
> to attach to that process. I normally redirect the
stderr output from this command to a file for later perusal. For
example, if I'm using a csh style shell:</P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>strace -f -p 3872 &#62;&#38; strace.out</B
></P
><P
>or with a sh style shell:</P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>strace -f -p 3872 &#62; strace.out 2&#62;&#38;1</B
></P
><P
>Note the "-f" option. This is only available on some systems, and
allows you to trace not just the current process, but any children it
forks. This is great for finding printing problems caused by the
"print command" being wrong.</P
><P
>Once you are attached you then can do whatever it is on the client
that is causing problems and you will capture all the system calls
that smbd makes. </P
><P
>So how do you interpret the results? Generally I search through the
output for strings that I know will appear when the problem
happens. For example, if I am having touble with permissions on a file
I would search for that files name in the strace output and look at
the surrounding lines. Another trick is to match up file descriptor
numbers and "follow" what happens to an open file until it is closed.</P
><P
>Beyond this you will have to use your initiative. To give you an idea
of what you are looking for here is a piece of strace output that
shows that <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/dev/null</TT
> is not world writeable, which
causes printing to fail with Samba:</P

better understood using) Netmon.exe. You will need to use the version
of Netmon that matches your system, in order to correctly decode the
NETLOGON, lsarpc and srvsvc Transact pipes. This document is derived from
NT Service Pack 1 and its corresponding version of Netmon. It is intended
that an annotated packet trace be produced, which will likely be more
instructive than this document.</P

>any undocumented buffer pointers must be non-zero if the string buffer it

0x0000 0002 seems to do the trick to indicate that the buffer exists. a
NULL buffer pointer indicates that the string buffer is of zero length.
If the buffer pointer is NULL, then it is suspected that the structure it
refers to is NOT put into (or taken out of) the SMB data stream. This is
empirically derived from, for example, the LSA SAM Logon response packet,
where if the buffer pointer is NULL, the user information is not inserted
into the data stream. Exactly what happens with an array of buffer pointers
is not known, although an educated guess can be made.</P
></LI

>an array of structures (a container) appears to have a count and a pointer.
if the count is zero, the pointer is also zero. no further data is put
into or taken out of the SMB data stream. if the count is non-zero, then
the pointer is also non-zero. immediately following the pointer is the
count again, followed by an array of container sub-structures. the count
appears a third time after the last sub-structure.</P

<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>\PIPE\</TT
>. You must first obtain a 16 bit file handle, by
sending a SMBopenX with the pipe name <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>\PIPE\srvsvc</TT
> for
example. You can then perform an SMB Trans,
and must carry out an SMBclose on the file handle once you are finished.</P
><P
>Trans Requests must be sent with two setup UINT16s, no UINT16 params (none
known about), and UINT8 data parameters sufficient to contain the MSRPC
header, and MSRPC data. The first UINT16 setup parameter must be either
0x0026 to indicate an RPC, or 0x0001 to indicate Set Named Pipe Handle
state. The second UINT16 parameter must be the file handle for the pipe,
obtained above.</P
><P
>The Data section for an API Command of 0x0026 (RPC pipe) in the Trans
Request is the RPC Header, followed by the RPC Data. The Data section for
an API Command of 0x0001 (Set Named Pipe Handle state) is two bytes. The
only value seen for these two bytes is 0x00 0x43.</P
><P
>MSRPC Responses are sent as response data inside standard SMB Trans
responses, with the MSRPC Header, MSRPC Data and MSRPC tail.</P
><P
>It is suspected that the Trans Requests will need to be at least 2-byte
aligned (probably 4-byte). This is standard practice for SMBs. It is also
independent of the observed 4-byte alignments with the start of the MSRPC
header, including the 4-byte alignment between the MSRPC header and the
MSRPC data.</P
><P
>First, an SMBtconX connection is made to the IPC$ share. The connection
must be made using encrypted passwords, not clear-text. Then, an SMBopenX
is made on the pipe. Then, a Set Named Pipe Handle State must be sent,
after which the pipe is ready to accept API commands. Lastly, and SMBclose
is sent.</P
><P
>To be resolved:</P
><P
>lkcl/01nov97 there appear to be two additional bytes after the null-terminated \PIPE\ name for the RPC pipe. Values seen so far are

><P
>Samba provides periodic caching of the output from the "lpq command"
for performance reasons. This cache time is configurable in seconds.
Obviously the longer the cache time the less often smbd will be
required to exec a copy of lpq. However, the accuracy of the print
queue contents displayed to clients will be diminished as well.</P
><P
>The list of currently opened print queue TDB's can be found
be examining the list of tdb_print_db structures ( see print_db_head
in printing.c ). A queue TDB is opened using the wrapper function
printing.c:get_print_db_byname(). The function ensures that smbd
does not open more than MAX_PRINT_DBS_OPEN in an effort to prevent
a large print server from exhausting all available file descriptors.
If the number of open queue TDB's exceeds the MAX_PRINT_DBS_OPEN
limit, smbd falls back to a most recently used algorithm for maintaining
a list of open TDB's.</P
><P
>There are two ways in which a a print job can be entered into
a print queue's TDB. The first is to submit the job from a Windows
client which will insert the job information directly into the TDB.
The second method is to have the print job picked up by executing the
"lpq command".</P

>When working with Windows NT+ clients, it is possible for a
print server to use RPC to send asynchronous change notification
events to clients for certain printer and print job attributes.
This can be useful when the client needs to know that a new
job has been added to the queue for a given printer or that the
driver for a printer has been changed. Note that this is done
entirely orthogonal to cache updates based on a new ChangeID for
a printer object.</P

>C: Obtain handle to printer or to the printer
server via the standard OpenPrinterEx() call.
S: Respond with a valid handle to object
C: Send a RFFPCN request with the previously obtained
handle with either (a) set of flags for change events
to monitor, or (b) a PRINTER_NOTIFY_OPTIONS structure
containing the event information to monitor. The windows
spooler has only been observed to use (b).
S: The &#60;* another missing word*&#62; opens a new TCP session to the client (thus requiring
all print clients to be CIFS servers as well) and sends
a ReplyOpenPrinter() request to the client.
C: The client responds with a printer handle that can be used to
send event notification messages.
S: The server replies success to the RFFPCN request.
C: The windows spooler follows the RFFPCN with a RFNPCN
request to fetch the current values of all monitored
attributes.
S: The server replies with an array SPOOL_NOTIFY_INFO_DATA
structures (contained in a SPOOL_NOTIFY_INFO structure).
C: If the change notification handle is ever released by the
client via a FCPCN request, the server sends a ReplyClosePrinter()
request back to the client first. However a request of this
nature from the client is often an indication that the previous
notification event was not marshalled correctly by the server
or a piece of data was wrong.
S: The server closes the internal change notification handle
(POLICY_HND) and does not send any further change notification
events to the client for that printer or job.</PRE

a NetBIOS name via WINS, smbd and other Samba programs will attempt to query a single WINS
server in a tagged group until either a positive response is obtained at least once or
until a server from every tagged group has responded negatively to the name query request.
If a timeout occurs when querying a specific WINS server, that server is marked as down to
prevent further timeouts and the next server in the WINS group is contacted. Once marked as
dead, Samba will not attempt to contact that server for name registration/resolution queries
for a period of 10 minutes.</P
