[Samba] Re: Fwd: Win32 services management?

[Danny Tylman]

Hi,

I am interested in implementing the 'createservice()' functionality 
using the RPC protocol. I need this functionality badly, and I 
understand it is not implemented.

I understand vaguely how this should be working and found some 
documentation,
here: http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/articles/win_net_srv/
here:http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/articles/win_net_srv/well_known_named_pipes.html 

and here: 
http://www.hsc.fr/ressources/articles/win_net_srv/msrpc_srvsvc.html.

I guess the issue here is to use the same method used in the 'net' 
command ('net.c' - util) and try to call the rpc-client with just 
different parameter as the above mentioned links state.

I don't have much experience in samba programming and I need to know:
(a) how complicate is that? should it be an easy task?
(b) I need some starting point.

(of course - if this is already implemented somewhere, i would be glad 
to know!)

Regards, Danny.
