Description

MSRPC services over SMB work by writing/reading data to/from an SMB named pipe. Adding support for this would enable things like remote share management, user management, etc.

I would propose adding some base classes to support this and then adapting MIDLC from the JCIFS project (http://jcifs.samba.org/src/midlc-0.6.1.tar.gz) to generate compatible classes. The adapted version of MIDLC would have to be GPLv2 licensed since the original code for IDLC falls under that license. The generated code is not GPLv2 licensed so I don't think this is an issue.

Is there any intrest in this feature?
