|
this module contains non-threaded versions of name status and name
|
|
query functions. if a multi-threaded nmbd was to be written, these
|
|
functions would be the starting point.
|
|
|
|
at the moment, the expected response queueing system is used to
|
|
replace these functions without needing to multi-thread nmbd.
|
|
|
|
these functions are used in smbclient and nmblookup at present to
|
|
avoid having the vast quantities of complex and unused code needed
|
|
to support even a simple name query (or providing stubs for the
|
|
unused side of these functions).
|
|
|
|
there is a down-side to these functions, which is all microsoft's
|
|
fault. microsoft machines always always reply to queries on the
|
|
priveleged ports, rather than following the usual tcp/ip mechanism
|
|
of replying on the client's port (the exception to this i am led
|
|
to believe is windows nt 3.50).
|
|
|
|
as a result of this, in order to receive a response to a name
|
|
query from a microsoft machine, we must be able to listen on
|
|
the priveleged netbios name server ports. this is simply not
|
|
possible with some versions of unix, unless you have root access.
|
|
|
|
it is also not possible if you run smbclient or nmblookup on an
|
|
interface that already has been claimed by the netbios name server
|
|
daemon nmbd.
|
|
|
|
all in all, i wish that microsoft would fix this.
|
|
|
|
a solution does exist: nmbd _does_ actually reply on the client's
|
|
port, so if smbclient and nmblookup were to use nmbd as a proxy
|
|
forwarder of queries (or to use samba's WINS capabilities) then
|
|
a query could be made without needing access to the priveleged
|
|
ports. in order to do this properly, samba must implement secured
|
|
netbios name server functionality (see rfc1001.txt 15.1.6).
|
|
(lkcl 01aug96: samba now supports secured name registration)

this is a older version of interpret_node_status().
