    I'm sorry, I didn't notice that you wern't the original author I was replying to, but I never said that an SMB server used an SMB client. I would also think that you would agree that just because it's not recommended doesn't mean that it won't happen, and should not be excluded from a discussion of security.

    Hmmmm, I wonder if they included the info from www.eeye.com http://www.eeye.com/html/research/advisories/AD200 50208.html 190 days is a long time.

    You mean this one?

    "eEye Digital Security has discovered a vulnerability in Windows SMB client's handling of SMB responses."

    Perhaps they didn't include it because this is a study of servers. Once again, RTFA. Dumb shit.

    You imply that a server will never run a client process while at the same time, calling someone you have presumably never met a "Dumb shit."

    I step in and assert that it is possible for a server to use a client. In fact, a web server (which was the focus of the article) often acts a database client. I'm sure that you would agree that if there were a security flaw with the MSSQL client that a number of web servers would be in trouble.

    So, nothing that works as a server can run any client?

    How about this? You've got a web server that you want to serve pages from another machine. You decide to use SMB shares to accomplish this. The web server will use the SMB client to access those files.

    Other possible clents that you would run on a server might include a DHCP client or an NTP client.

    Perhaps they didn't include it because this is a study of servers.

    And why is it that a server wouldn't use the SMB client? You do realize that you use the SMB client every time a share is accessed.

    If you use large enough resistors for the divider, you can minimize the effects of the attached circuit though.

    You could also use diodes, they pretty much guarantee a voltage drop of 0.7V each.
