Steven already took care of this part, so I'll wrap up the next one. > # A FUSE wrapper for remote named pipes using libsmbclient The goal of this is to be able to do RPC via Windows named pipes to remote machines. Of course the best solution would be to just use libsmbclient from Wine directly, but libsmbclient is under the GPL and Wine is under the LGPL, so that's not going to work. So the obvious idea is some solution where we can use libsmbclient for what we need without having to link to libsmbclient. FUSE can provide this abstraction. The idea would be to create a pipe subdirectory of WINEPREFIX and mount our pipefs there. Accessing pipe/server/pipename should connect to \\server\pipe\pipename, if possible. One more thing that needs to be supported is mode switching on the named pipe. I'd suggest to read up on remote named pipes to get a better idea what they're used for. If you've got any more questions, I'm happy to help.
