Concur ... I reckon that you need a bunch of how tos, that you can sent these rude people. I think that you are a victim of your own success. Samba has hit the mainstream, and now you are paying the price :-) Still ........ I prefer these messages to those filled with hypertext ... or worse.... 2 Meg of mime formatted drivel :-) Has anybody thanked you recently for providing so much help on this list ?? Notice the suck up for a windows browsing sniffer program :-P Cheers Peter> > > I can't tell you how pissed off I am!!! > > [not directed at Carl in any way.

Be nice to have a "real time" sniffer program that gives me a handle on what the browse lists and lookups are doing. nmblookup sort of does it ............. but I would like to be able to see the browse list synchronising/requests.. what the wins server is doing... the browse list/name lookups/election requests coming in from the windows clients.. also the PDC and BDC traffic. The traffic coming in from other subnets. Watch the broadcast traffic for domain master etc etc Would also be nice to see the name lookups ... DNS vs and WINS to try and get a bit of a feel on how it all hangs together. Be nice to have this running when starting the samba server(s), booting a PC .. running down subnet sync problems etc etc Very often I used to get a rogue PC(s) that used to do their own thing.. DNS/wins server settings etc .. and this would be useful to find them.

Have you looked at ethereal? I am pretty sure it does filtering.

True ... I get the feeling that all of the bits are already in the code .... just a matter of repackaging them.
