Quite soon, i.e. within the next very few weeks, there will
be much more flexible support for named pipe server support
in Samba 3. We need this because we want to merge Samba 3
and Samba 4, and Samba 4 will be passed the raw named pipe
data stream via a unix domain socket. The code already
exists on

http://git.samba.org/?p=vl/samba.git/.git;a=shortlog;h=s3-merge34

It needs to be merged though.
