Hi,

OK, I have to sort out access to the CVS tree, but will do that soon,
however, my next project will probably be the SMB protocol.

I also want to do SMTP, but I need a small bit of state info in SMTP, so I
will have to think more about doing the glib hashing stuff properly.

I see already that some of the NetBIOS directed datagrams that are already
(partially) decoded contain SMBs (\255SMB). In addition, SMBs can be
carried over NetBEUI (which is 802.3/LLC with a NSAP of F0, I think), IPX,
and TCP.

I will have to be careful that the SMB decode routines can be called from
any one of these dissect routines.

I have some traces (netmon) of SMB over TCP, NetBEUI and IPX, so I should
be able to handle all three protocols.

We shall see. 

Regards
