[WarpCast] NBDD/enhanced NBNS support for Samba - 11/03/00 |
PMView 2000: The Versatile and Fast Image Viewer and Converter. Version 2.10 for OS/2 and Windows now available! More info and Evaluation Version at: http://www.pmview.com/ ********************************************************************* Source: Brian Landy (landy@alumni.caltech.edu) Moderator: Trevor Smith (feedback@warpcast.com) ------------------------------------------------------- I've created some patches for Samba which enhance its ability to act as a NetBios Name Server and add the ability to act as a NetBios Datagram Distributor. Without the patches, Samba mirrors how MS WINS servers act - it does not register group names other than type 0x1c properly, and it does not act as an NBDD. Without these features, OS/2 clients cannot logon to domains, OS/2 or NT, if they are using TCPBeui in a routed environment. The patch, by adding those features, allows OS/2 clients and servers to easily use TCPBeui in a routed TCP/IP network. I have only tested this running Samba on Linux, but I imagine it would work on any platform supported by Samba. Please see my web page at: http://www.landy.cx for the patch and instructions. ------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ -------------------------------------------------------
