yes, there's a .gz, too. there's also always patch files (diff.gz) for those people with really slow links [in russia, hi there, thanks for wanting to keep up with this stuff!] this release may be a bit dodgy, it contains three separate sets of changes: - andrew's simplified the file-opening. however, it doesn't deal with the shared NFS / SMB case, so jeremy is investigating that. - the msrpc loop-back unix-socket-interface-thing i made some nice, simple, trivial mods that make it clear what i am doing... and my first tests showed i broke it :) heck, it i got it wrong, i'll do another alpha release :) - smbd receives win-9x/smbclient requests, it now passes them on to DCE/RPC functions (e.g api_NetShareEnum calls srv_net_share_enum on loop-back. api_NetServerTOD calls srv_net_srv_tod. there _isn't_ a srv_net_server_enum, so i am a bit lost, there, i'd _love_ to know what microsoft is doing, there...) ok, have fun. luke <a href=" mailto:lkcl@samba.org" > Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton </a> <a href=" http://cb1.com/~lkcl" > Samba and Network Development </a> <a href=" http://samba.org" > Samba Web site </a> <a href=" http://mcp.com" > Macmillan Technical Publishing </a> ISBN1578701503 DCE/RPC over SMB: Samba and Windows NT Domain Internals
