DFSR client side support

[Matthieu Patou]

Hello all,

As a result of last week IO lab (InterOperability) with Microsoft I have 
a quite descent implementation of DFSR client side in my dfs-r branch 
located at http://git.samba.org/?p=mat/samba.git;a=log;h=refs/heads/dfs-r

It's limited to one content set per replica group but it should be ok 
for most cases. The code is not ready for prime time yet as it relies on 
the work of Stephan ('Metze') on new DCERPC infrastructure.

Also for the moment the files are downloaded in a staging directory and 
not installed into the target dir. The idea here is to have a python 
script doing the job of putting the file in the target directory as it's 
not super time critical and it should save a lot of time by not having 
to write lot of boiler plate code.

I have some ideas on how to write the server side part, it's actually 
not very complicated once you have the good information in a database on 
what has changed. That's why the first part of the implementation will 
be writing a tool that looks for file/directory change events and assign 
a frstrans_Update structure (plan is to store it in a a tdb database 
with the gvsn as the key and the structure as  the data).

Help on this would be great.

Matthieu.
