Re: re: lebsack account request

hi, yes. i released a heck of a lot of code into the public domain - including "cliffs". cliffs is a bit like the samba 4 project (except it was initiated in 2000) where i _literally_ took the CIFS specification (the text file) and used a small IDL compiler that andrew wrote (in awk!), and turned the specification into code. i then had to cut over some sections of samba 3's source code, but the amount was pretty minimalist. therefore, you can literally do what you like with the code - minus the samba 3 bits. bear in mind, however, that the burden of responsibility for ensuring you get the right bits is with YOU - unless you are prepared to pay for my time to help correctly identify them. the cvs logs will be of invaluable assistance to you should that not be an option, however. l. p.s. also i know of someone who wrote a c++ smb library under the LGPL. p.p.s. also why not consider writing a plugin architecture to farm traffic off to a "helper" service - via shm or a unix domain socket? you only need then have read, write, open, close, blah on _your_ side.
