ok. just a quick reply to this. I do appreciate the prompt replies to my last mail, at least someone does seem interested in this stuff, so I will continue. I'll report back on the deep secrets of the perverted minds of MS here. I hope to continue with this tomorrow evening (EET). by that time I'll have had time to gather more packet dumps.
iff I get somewhere, I'll also need some people with w2k servers since they have also a WINS server. I suspect that some parameters in the DCE/RPC call might be different in that case. I'm testing my setup with NT4 servers (as PDCs) and a mix of win98/2k clients (not that that matters in this case). the WINS server is a one in NT4SVR-SP6. on a related note, does samba implement any DCE/RPC stuff? I didn't check all of samba source manually, that's why I ask. The RPC I'm looking at is done via the DCE/RPC portmapper. does samba listen to tcp 135? > This way we can implement also this one and let you live happy with a > samba wins server :). this was my wish as well, already back in 2001 (check in the archives). first thought that I was to blame, for misconfiguring things. but no :-). anyways, thanks to all who deemed my mission worthy. ak.
