From b338bce94f47780c74b2db3608a767c5b957b61a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samba Release Account Date: Sun, 7 Jul 1996 12:36:18 +0000 Subject: 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) --- source3/namepacket.doc | 106 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 106

datagram +error packets at the moment). + +the packet queueing mechanism was originally introduced when +samba dealt with responses by sending a packet, receiving +packets and queueing all packets that didn't match up with +the response expected. this is fine in a single-thread +environment, but samba now deals with response packets by +queueing the responses. to some extent, therefore, this +queue_packet mechanism is redundant. + + +/************************************************************************* + send_mailslot_reply() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for sending a MAILSLOT packet. + +it will _not_ send packets to the pseudo WINS subnet's address of +255.255.255.255: this would be disastrous. + +each packet sent out has a unique transaction identifier. this is done +so that responses can be matched later with the original purpose for +the packet being sent out in the first place. + + +/************************************************************************* + listen_for_packets() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for reading NMB and DGRAM packets, and then +queueing them. it will normally time-out for NMBD_SELECT_LOOP seconds, but +if there is an election currently running or we are expecting a response +then this time is reduced to 1 second. + +note: the time-out period needs refining to the millisecond level. + + +/************************************************************************* + queue_packet() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for queueing any NMB and DGRAM packets passed +to it. these packets will be removed from the queue in run_packet_queue(). + + +/************************************************************************* + run_packet_queue() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for taking a packet off the queue, +identifying whether it is an NMB or a DGRAM packet, processing +it accordingly and deleting it. this process continues until +there are no more packets on the queue. + + +/************************************************************************* + process_nmb() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function receives a packet identified as a netbios packet. +it further identifies whether it is a response or a query packet. +by identifying the type of packet (name registration, query etc) +process_nmb() will call the appropriate function to deal with the +type of packet received. + + +/************************************************************************* + process_dgram() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for identifying whether the datagram +packet received is a browser packet or a domain logon packet. it +also does some filtering of certain types of packets (e.g it +filters out error packets). + + +/************************************************************************* + reply_netbios_packet() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for sending a reply to another NetBIOS +packet from another host. it can be used to send a reply to a name +registration, name release, name query or name status request. + +the reply can be either a positive or a negative one. + + +/************************************************************************* + initiate_netbios_packet() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is responsible for construction a netbios packet and sending +it. if the packet has not had a unique transaction id allocated to it, +then initiate_netbios_packet() will give it one. + + +/************************************************************************* + update_name_trn_id() + *************************************************************************/ + +this function is
