Description NN Poster 2004-06-07 21:26:42 EDT 
Description of problem:
Samba packaged with RHEL 3 emits name service broadcast packets 
(137/udp) with TTL set to 0, which is illegal according to RFC 791.

(The symptom appears to be specific either to the RHEL build or to a 
particular version of Samba because all other Samba instances that I 
have access to use TTL 1.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-3.0.2-6.3E

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. /etc/init.d/smb start
2. tethereal -i eth0 -w capture udp port 137 and ip src host <my-ip>
3. tethereal -r capture ip.ttl==0
  
Actual results:
lots of packets

Expected results:
no packets

I don't see how Samba can even do this.  We just call sendto().  I suspect a
kernel issue with UDP broadcasts.

NOTABUG based on abartlet's comment.
