- is the winbind team willing to standardize the
protocol, or at least
ensure backward compatibility in future versions?
Rather than inventing new protocols, why not just use DCE RPC over domain
sockets or TCP/IP?
The only catch is that you need a DCE RPC client library. We're using the
OSF DCE runtime (actually, FreeDCE), which is BSD-licensed.
We are doing a similar thing, except in reverse, so that SAMBA can act as
a named pipe front-end to our proprietary DCE RPC services. More
