samba - May 2005 - Is there a libsmb to make a client / server ?

Hello,

first I would like to tell to the samba developpers that they did a great job!
Samba is very nice!

I currently code a file server compatible with multiple network protocols.
Is there somewhere a libsmb with an API to make easy a Samba client and server?
I would like that my file server is compatible with Windows, it's because I
choose Samba.
I need also to add additional operation codes for some specific file operations
not supported on classic file systems. It would be great if it would be possible
to add easy new operations codes and bind them to a call back function with this
lib.

Thanks in advance for a response.

There's no so much a defined library for using Samba's
functionality.  But the server code does allow for adding
new SMB ops and rpc code fairly easirly.

If you are interesting is modifying and/or developing
Samba code, I would suggest bring it up on the samba-technical
mailing list (the developer list).

If your file server is under a GPL license you can use any of the code
within Samba with pleasure. Please don't try and use Samba in a proprietary
code project though.
