Hi, David,
David Malone writes:
Bill - are you sure about the patch you submitted in the PR? It
seems to allow traffic *from* the broadcast address, rather than to
it. Did you mean the opposit way around?
That was sort of my reaction, too, upon re-reading the bug report.
It seems to me that both directions are necessary. The nmbd needs
to receive broadcasts from other SMB servers, as well as be able to
transmit its own broadcasts to them.
In short, both the bug description and the fix are incomplete.
Bill
