wsdd - 2:0.7.0-2.1 main

This daemon is used to announce Linux Hosts to Windows 7+ computers for
use in their File Manager network browsing, by using the Windows
Services Discovery Protocol.
.
This protocol is a local network segment procotol, which is multicasted
on udp/3072, and incoming on tcp/5357 on the 239.255.255.250/ff02::c
multicast addresses. It DOES have security issues, but it is designed
for use in a trusted environment inside a firewall.
.
Its quite useful for Samba, taking over from WINS and the Samba nmbd
daemon. Installing this restores the Network browsing functionality to
Windows 7+ Samba clients.
