That's the old rpc client code. Unfortunately it's rather
tightly coupled with pretty much everything else in Samba. It's
a long term project of mine to move everything to the
libsmb/cli_* code.
It's pretty hard doing refactoring work considering not many
companies are interested in supporting it so there isn't much
time available to do it. I believe small rewrites of things
within Samba are necessary to avoid bitrot in the future and make
Samba nicer to work with and to avoid bugs. Tridge's NTSTATUS
stuff is a really good example of this.
Tim.
