samba - Apr 2002 - TCP & UDP port 445: microsoft-ds

Hello,

Does Samba support connecting to a server using port 445 if you have 
Netbios over TCP/IP disabled on your client system?
In Windows 2000/XP you have the possibility to disable Netbios over TCP/IP 
and use port 445 to make an SMB connection.

I've done some tests and apparently samba (version 2.2.3a) does not support 
connections on port 445.

Am I correct?
If so, will this be possible in future releases of samba?

You can start smbd on port 445 now.  See smbd(8).  You would then need 
another smbd instance on port 139 of course.  Entirely untested, but i 
think it works ok.
