[Dce-users] dce/rpc - OSF/1 (BSD-like) codebase already exists

[Luke K. C. L. <lk...@sa...>]

hi there guys,

my name's luke, i worked on samba TNG for four years,
developing a DCE/RPC environment from scratch and
hard-coding sufficient services to produce Windows
NT Primary Domain Controller etc. interoperability.

one hundred thousand lines later, i still get
twinges four years on and i would not recommend
to anyone to do a dce/rpc rewrite unless they are
certifiable.

the dce 1.1 codebase has made it out into the
open source world already, known as freedce, and it
is under an OSF/1 (BSD-line) OSI approved license.

if you are interested in helping with this, i can
offer cvs, ftp and web services and access: please
join up on http://dcerpc.net.

i'm trying to collect as many dce/rpc developers
and interest as possible into one, focussed
place, and you guys fit the bill :)

if you'd like to jump-start your goals from design
stage instantly to finished product, sign up for
an account on dcerpc.net, put in an ssh public
key into your profile on there and let me know how
you'd like to help.

there's a lot more work still to do!

all best,

luke.
