Hi Jerry,

have you thought about how to create a unique uint32 id for the returned
files? the numbers are unique between multiple connections.

In samba4 I planed to implement this via internal messaging,
so all smb connections are asked for open files, when a NetFileEnum()
comes in, but the unique ids were my big problem, as uint32 has to
little bits to use something like this:

uint32 id = ((uint32)conn_id<<64) | (uint32 tcon_id)>>32| (uint32)fnum;
(uint32 fnum because of smb2)

hmm, but for samba3 it might be ok, to use maybe this:
uint32 id = conn_id << 15 | (0x8FFF|fnum);

so 17 or 18 bits for the connection (pid in samba3) and 14-15 bits for
the fnum, as fnum's are not allocated per tcon in samba3.
