updated the name database structure (again!). this time, there is one
name database per local interface. there is also a pseudo-interface on
ip 255.255.255.255. its purpose is to store WINS name entries. all the
local interface name databases store SELF names only. the WINS name
database stores non-special browser names.
added wins.dat file: records WINS entries in ascii format. this is reloaded
when nmbd restarts.
added repeating code for response packets. timer is in seconds only at the
moment.
updated the response queue code to deal with samba registering with a
WINS server a bit better (added more cases when a response isn't received).
tidied up the response packet processing code and expire_response_queue()
code. added cross references between response received and await-response
expired code.
added over-zealous code that checks all machines that register with samba
as a WINS server (every 10 minutes i think): to see whether they are still
alive or not (see rfc1001.txt)
bug reported by terry@ren.pc.athabascau.ca: DNSFAILed names _stay_ as
DNSFAIL, even though the machine may come back up and REGISTER.
removed update_from_reg() function. it's not necessary, and it does too much.
added code that announces on each local interface samba's ttl as zero and
servertype as zero when nmbd is kill -TERMed
first attempt at putting the first functionality of samba browsing back in
(remote subnets should have samba appear in a workgroup specified through
the lmhosts file)
lots of other miscellaneous tidying up / chopping about.

a cleanup of the receive_smb() usage, adding timeouts in some places
also added paranoid code in the main process() loop of smbd to detect
when smbd is looping uselessly. This should stop the "smbd is chewing
lots of cpu" reports

got rid of a lot of redundent header files as we now globally generate
prototypes automatically using "make proto". This is much less prone
to error than the old method of manually adding prototypes

- added comments to byteorder.h explaining how it works.
- fixed problem with installscripts if srcdir is not set
- fixed ptr init bug in interface.c
- changed default lookup type in nmblookup to match nbtstat under NT
- new quotas fixes for sunos and solaris

- changed some debug levels in clientutil.c
- added dir_check_ftype() to clean up the file type checking a bit
- added check for libc version >= 5 for setfsuid() for Linux
- moved the AM_MASTER() and related macros to nameserv.h
- added proper defines for the various netbios announce types
- don't call the announce_backup() code, as I'm pretty sure its wrong
it sent ANN_GetBackupListReq packets as broadcasts, they are supposed
to be used only by clients to the master browser to find a list of
available backup servers to remote a netserverenum to, I don't think
nmbd should ever send one.
- fixed a bug in the browse list writing
- minor debug cleanups
- put in the code to discard our own broadcasts (it won't work for
multi-homed hosts though)
- changed ELECTION_VERSION to 1 so we can be beaten by a NT 3.51 server by
lowering the os level.
- only do sync_browse_lists() if we are the master browser, otherwise
we'll cause network overload
- don't call tell_become_backup() as it appears to be badly broken, it
should only be used when the machine being told has its MAINTAIN_LIST
to to auto. Not calling it does no great harm anyway
- fix a nasty bug where becomebackup was confused with reset browser!
- make setbuffer() not get caught by the auto protototypes

Changed more references of 'nimbus.anu.edu.au/pub/tridge/samba' to
'samba.anu.edu.au/pub/samba'
The only reference I see now to 'nimbus' is in ENCRYPTION.txt regarding
libdes stuff.

Made chang
blody comso: can't see what i'm writing...
Made changes to reflect nimbus.anu.edu.au -> samba.anu.edu.au chage.
changed reference to /ub/samba/change-log o /ub/samba/alpha/change-log
Also added samba.faq.html to docs directory

Update the samba.faq file with what was current on the web site, there
were a number of additions.
Changed the faq version number to 1.9.15 to match current samba version.
