How hard would it be to port these services to Samba,
so that you can use the Samba DCE-RPC implementation
as-is ? You need the IDL plus a backend implementation
inside Samba.

Might not be harder than doing the reverse, plus the
DCE-RPC implementation I would bet is a lot more secure
than the old OSF code (at least people have already
had a go at bashing our implementation with security
review :-).
