[Samba] Port 139 versus Port 445

[Javid Abdul-AJAVID1]

I am just curious of running 2 smbds, as i think one parent smbd process
runs on 139 and all others are children

Just making all this stuff up off the top of my head.
I have never done this, but you could try:
Running two smbd daemon, each listening to different ports.
Redirecting traffic from port 445 to 139 with some firewall rules. I
redirect
traffic with ipmasqadm, but there are surely others.
Running smbd with (x)inetd and have it listen  to both ports.
Likely, the delay is because the W2K clients are waiting for a reply,
and finally timing out on port 445. Why not try something funky like
having telnet or apache listen on port 445. Maybe that will tell the client
right
away to try a different port, like 139.
Let us know how this works out, if you try any of this stuff.
