[cifs-protocol] RE: MS-SAMR missing SID name use type ?

[ronnie sahlberg]

I see where the confusion has arised from now.


LSA and SAMR both contain a definition for SID_NAME_TYPE but they are
subtly different.

The definitions of SID_NAME_TYPE in LSA and SAMR are identical up to
item 8 where the SAMR version ends.
LSA contains two extra name types   COMPUTER==9 and LABEL==10


Any particular reason why SAMR and LSA uses similar but different
definitions of this structure?
This leads to confusion.

Is there any additional information that you or another member of Samba can recall that will help reduce the breadth of the scope? Even a timeframe that the scenario was experienced may prove to be useful.

We can't ask you how we got this in the first place, but we were hoping you might be able to do some digging, to check the IDL and see if this value ever occours in this enum in windows (ie, is this a cut-down enum), or if there is another similar (but not identical) enum that we might have got confused with.
