From 85097a7c177977c3e0cb9b2ad41642dba5f917ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Tridgell Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 03:14:32 +0000 Subject: change the semantics of hosts allow/hosts deny so that a global setting applies to all shares regardless of any settings on other shares. This allows us to immediately drop a connection if it does not come from a allowed host, without even parsing the first SMB packet. The next time we get a nasty security hole we can offer people the option of just setting their hosts allow line. If we drop a connection in this way we generate a "Not listening for calling name" response and then exit. add a per share "oplocks" option in smb.conf. I think its important to be able to disable oplocks on a per-share basis as there are occasions then they are definately not wanted, for example when sharing data between a windows box and a unix application. This also allows us to tell people "try disabling oplocks" when diagnosing problems. fix a bug in process_smb(). It was taking the length of the packet from outbuf, not inbuf (this bug was introduced with the oplocks code). Jeremy, I assume this wasn't deliberate?
