I meant the latter. connection_struct in smb.h has a client_address field, but no corresponding client_port. I looked in util_sock.c, and I see that remote port information isn't being retrieved or set. client_socket_port() seems to return the local port on the Samba server (typically 445). I'm not terribly fluent in socket programming issues---is the remote port even readily available with POSIX APIs? What about low-level kernel calls?

Thanks,
