Samba over raw NETBEUI.

Samba over raw NETBEUI protocol (TCP/IP not needed).

This is round 5 of the patch.

I've got it working resonably stable on x86 linux 2.4.24 with NETBEUI stack patches. Recent changes:

NMBD is now usable, though master browser mode has not been yet tested and probably doesn't work.

Remaining problems with netbeui (thouse which I'm aware of):

SWAT doesn't recognize smbd/nmbd running (It still can be used for configuring though);
Connecting to samba share using smbclinet (on another box) doesn't fail but doesn's show any files either. Connecting from KDE (through libsmbclient) to any password-protected samba share fails, connection to passwordless share works fine however.
Serving XP clients over netbeui seems to work now, and is surprisingly fast btw.

Apply to version 2.2.8a in this order:

samba-2.2.8a-redhat-patches.tgz - regular RedHat patches (as-is);
samba-2.2.8a-netbeui.patch.gz - NETBEUI patch (again, the credits go to Procom Inc. and A.C. de Melo)
samba.spec - modified RedHat's spec file to automatically apply and enable NETBEUI stuff.

Note, if you apply and configure manually then make sure you add "--with-netbeui" argument to configure script. Otherwise, it will be simply left out.
BTW, feel free to drop me a line, or even better, a good detailed bugreport :-)
