NetBIOS-less SMB

Out of interest, why care? NetBIOS-less SMB actually has less functionality
(lack of virtual servers for one) than vanilla SMB.

Cheers,

Windows 2000 supports NetBIOS-less SMB via TCP port 445.  As I would
like
to move away from "chatty" protocols such as NetBIOS, I am very
interested
in this feature -- what's the current status of it in Samba?  There is
mention of port 445 "working" in the 2.0.7 source/cvs.log file, but I
can't find any trace of it in the code.... am I just blind, or is
something actually missing here?  Thanks for the update.
