Samba - microsoft-ds connection?

[Marty Landman]

Hi,

Sorry if the subject's a bit cryptic. It's because of my ignorance, here's 
what I do know. Have just installed FBSD 4.8 release from the mini-iso, my 
old install got messed up and got Samba 3.0.10 running.

My win xp workstation is also my current gateway. Run a tcp monitor on that 
box called tcpview which displays active connections. Here's what I see for 
windows networking

System:4        TCP     delliver:4885   swamisalami:microsoft-ds 
ESTABLISHED
System:4        TCP     delliver:3031   penguin:netbios-ssn     ESTABLISHED 

System:4        TCP     delliver:4852   eileen:netbios-ssn      ESTABLISHED 


Swamisalami is my fbsd, penguin's my rh9 box running samba 2.x, eileen is a 
win me workstation. Delliver is my gateway box.

What is microsoft-ds? Couldn't find anything about it in MS' knowledgebase.

Marty

p.s. yes I plan on moving my gateway to fbsd, but it's going to take some 
time for me to get there
