The commands the protocol supported at this stage were basically + a mirror of the DOS File IO API calls, which meant the protocol wasn't very + efficient. The protocol also lacked authentication support. Everybody on the + network could do reads and writes, which meant this protocol + wasn't very suitable for large enterprises. + </para> + + <para> + NetBIOS is an API that has had various implementations; there is + NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT), NetBIOS over IPX, NetBIOS over SNA and + even NetBIOS over DECNEt. Mostly used these days is + NetBIOS over TCP (NBT). + </para> + + <para> + This is also were things are starting to get hairy. Since NetBIOS identifies + hosts by their name, NetBIOS clients had to start doing IP broadcasts to + figure out the IP of the host they had to connect to. Several schemes were + introduced to do name lookups crossing subnet boundaries, using name servers, + etc. We're basically emulating a NetBIOS LAN in order to be able to run SMB. + </para> + + <para> + Doing NetBIOS over IP is not very sane, however, the NBT implementation itself + in Windows isn't very nice either. It has horrible + limits, special exceptions, several broken schemes for looking up + names (including two kinds of name servers).

Each computer is member of exactly one domain. There are several roles a computer can have in the domain: PDC (primary domain controller, the "manager" of the domain, that coordinates all authentication and authorization), BDC (Backup domain controller, in case the PDC goes down) or just a regular domain member.
