you could start on reg_srv.c.  cut/paste it to winregd/srv_reg_nt.c and go
from there.

there are plenty of examples.  send me, first of all, patches for one
function at a time.

the _actual_ goal is not as i originally stated: the goal is to expose all
_Q_ and _R_ members to the _xxx_msrpc_() functions and then later to
modify the xxx_msrpc_() client-side function to do the same.

the ultimate aim is to have EXACTLY the same API as the microsoft MSDN,
and i do mean exactly.  but PLEASE, do NOT go copying the MSDN, that
breaks microsoft's copyright.  work from the data over-the-wire, and than
means the samba data structures, only.  you shouldn't get stuck, but if
you do, then _refer_ to the MSDN, don't copy it.

thx,

lars, talk with sander and sean millichamp and elrond, they're chewing
through this stuff.
