First of all thanks everybody for the feedback.
It seems that Wine/Samba integration will not be a solution for general
Wine RPC, at least not in the short term.
However I have determined the functionality I need and I think most of
it can be implemented on top of existing winbind functionality a

I agree, I think I've grown a few gray hairs from DCE. I guess
the argument in favour of it depends on how similar the kinds
of lookups WINE needs to make are to existing, implemented,

Rather than inventing new protocols, why not just use DCE RPC over domain
sockets or TCP/IP?
The only catch is that you need a DCE RPC client library. We're using the
O
Imho the best way to go, is to wait until we will be able to provide an
interface for loadable modules in samba that couples with the MS-RPC
subsystem.
At that point you will only need to make the .so library as GPL and
build your socket mechanism to speak to the other LGPLed end integrated
into w
