Errata


    

Errata for the
Printed Version of Implementing CIFS

Several people put a lot of effort into turning Implementing CIFS into a really-truly paper-and-ink book. Alina, Dmitry, and Faye, in particular, did a lot to clean up the mess I made.
 

It's not a bug, it's a feature!
-- Technical Support Axiom

  

Still, a few errors did manage to slip through. Those, of course, are my responsibility. When I find them, I will list them here. If you come across anything that smells like a bug, please let me know.

This errata is organized by section. Within each section the known errors are listed by page. Where convenient and useful, additional clues (a line number, figure number, or somesuch) may also be given.


Table of Contents

Page Action Description
ix Delete
1.1.1 OpLock Breaks
1.1.1.1 Unicast (NBNS) Name Registration
1.1.2 The NTLMv2 Toolbox
(I have no idea how those entries got there. They were not in the final proofs.)

xvii Add Appendix D  SNIA CIFS Technical Reference
(Add the acronym SNIA before CIFS.)


Part 1   NBT: NetBIOS over TCP/IP

Page Where Action Description
3 Near the end of the first paragraph Change Sytec Sytek

57 Resource Record structure Change In the online version, and in the original RFC, the RR_NAME and RDATA fields are shown as variable length. The book version of this structure diagram appears to show fixed lengths for these fields. The diagram in the printed book is misleading. Those fields are, in fact, variable length as described in the text.

68-69 Footnotes 3 & 4 Change The order of these footnotes 3 and 4 should be reversed. The footnote which reads 'Elvis is the name of a popular clone of the venerable "vi" text editor' (currently footnote #4) refers to the content of figure 4.1a-d on page 68. The footnote reference should be placed at the end of the description of figure 4.1d:
Any node may join a group. Existing group members will not respond to the registration request3.

87 Figure 4.6b Change Verification Query (RD == TRUE) Unicast Name Resolution Query (RD == TRUE)

Figure 4.6a is the verification query. Figure 4.6b shows unicast name resultion (P mode). (Obviously a cut & paste error on my part.)


110 Listing 4.10 Change In the call to BuildQuery() there is a comment associated with the 5th parameter. It should identify the value '\0' as a nul byte, not a space.

'\0',  /* Padding (spacenul).     */

142 Section 7.2, first paragraph. Change TRuncation bittruncation bit (TC)

RFC1002 refers to this bit as the TC bit in section 4.2.1.1, but later refers to it as simply T in section 4.2.13. It is never reffered to as the TR bit.


Part 2   SMB: The Server Message Block Protocol

Page Where Action Description
153 HTTP URI Change http://ubiqx.org/cifs/indexSMB.html

The URI matches neither the breakdown that follows, nor the UNC example on the next page.

215 Listing 12.2a Change The correct name of the file is SMB_Header.h
219 Listing 12.2b Change The correct name of the file is SMB_Header.c


Part 3   The Browse Service

Page Where Action Description
341 At the end of the 2nd bullet point Delete T
There is an errant 'T' at the end of the line.

369 Under TotalDataCount Change 216 216
It appears that a tag was misplaced somewhere. The value should be two to the sixteenth, not two hundred and sixteen.

426 Under Prolific protocol bindings Change Sytec Sytek


Part 4   Appendices

Page Where Action Description
446 Desciption of the wildcard name Change nulls nuls

463 Appendix D Title Add SNIA CIFS Technical Reference


Glossary

Page Where Action Description
619-620 Bottom of the page Change The entry for Network Data Representation (NDR) is out of sequence. It should follow the definition of NetBT, on the following page.

620 Under NetBIOS Change Sytec Sytek
