ANNOUNCE: nbfw - transparent browsing from/to masqueraded hosts

[Jasper van der Neut]

Nbfw is a add-on for Samba which makes it possible for hosts behind a
masquerading firewall to participate in the 'Network Neighbourhood'.

Its main features are:

 * transparent browsing for masqueraded hosts
 * masqueraded hosts can be browsed transparently

In order to use nbfw you need to have:

 * time to read the manual
 * working ip-masquerade
 * working Samba
 * transparent proxy support (if you use wins)
 * ipportfw support (if you want masqueraded hosts to be browsed)

As the features already indicate the nbfw package consists of two 
parts: 
First there is the nmbdnbfw, a nmbd which is responsible for
rewriting the ip addresses in data of netbios name service packets
and announcing your masqueraded hosts to the world. Second there is 
the smbdnbfw, a smbd which is able to redirect session requests to
your masqueraded hosts.

The current version of nbfw is 0.27 and can be downloaded from:
