tidied up: code shuffling and documentation.
created namedb*.c nameservresp.c nameservreply.c and namepacket.c added modules to Makefile, downloading dan's current version first :-) shuffled docs to match source created more docs fixed bug in announce_backup() discovered when going nameannounce.doc: backup list requests to the master browser should be used when samba is not a master browser; backup list requests to the primary domain controller should be used when samba is not a primary domain controller. fixed bug in sync_server: it would never send MasterAnnounce packets. removed the code that ignored special browser names: these should only be ignored (except 0x1b names) when broadcasted name queries are sent, not when directed registration or directed queries are sent samba as a WINS server. (note: exactly what's going on is still uncertain). renamed NAME_QUERY_MST_SRV_CHK to NAME_QUERY_PDC_SRV_CHK (more accurate). renamed NAME_STATUS_MST_SRV_CHK to NAME_STATUS_PDC_SRV_CHK (more accurate). added secured WINS name registration: a new 'state' NAME_REGISTER_CHALLENGE; functions send_name_response(), response_name_query_register(); added sending of WAIT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT packet; added a reply_to_ip field to the response record structure so that after the name query challenge, you know who to inform of the outcome of that challenge. note: these are all currently untested modifications (yikes!) lkcl (This used to be commit b50ff657ddc29b81b4aa02a597e5affab197e4f2)

+module namedbresp deals with the maintenance of the list of expected
+responses - creating, finding and removal.
+
+module nameresp deals with the initial transmission, re-transmission
+and time-out of netbios response records.
+
+
+/*************************************************************************
+ find_response_record()
+ *************************************************************************/
+
+this function is responsible for matching the unique response transaction
+id with an expected response record. as a side-effect of this search,
+it will find the subnet (or the WINS pseudo-subnet) that samba expected
+the response to come from.
+
+
+/*************************************************************************
+ make_response_queue_record()
+ *************************************************************************/
+
+this function is responsible for creating a response record, which will
+be queued awaiting a response.
+
+the number of retries is set to 4, and the retry period set to 1 second.
+if no response is received, then the packet is re-transmitted, which is
+why so much information is stored in the response record.
+
+the number of expected responses queued is kept, so listen_for_packets()
+knows it must time-out after 1 second if one or more responses are
+expected.
+
+
+/*************************************************************************
+ remove_response_record()
+ *************************************************************************/
+
+this function is responsible for removing a response record from the
+expected response queue. the number of expected responses is decreased.
+
+
+/*************************************************************************
+ add_response_record()
+ *************************************************************************/
+
+this function is responsible for adding the response record created by
+make_response_queue_record() into the appropriate response record queue.
