Hi!

http://git.samba.org/?p=vl/samba.git/.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/unexpected

has code to replace the unexpected.tdb file. It replaces it
with a unix domain socket /tmp/.nmbd/unexpected where nmbd
delivers specific packets requested by for example nmblookup
and winbind.

For patch clarity it leaves around the old code so far,
removing it is trivial. And, it does not yet have DoS
protection in nmbd. That should also be pretty easy to do
(drop old clients when there are too many and drop packets
to indiviual clients when the queue is too long).

Comments? Is this 3.6 material?

With best regards,

Volker Lendecke
