Dev Release Issues

[jborean93]

Trying to keep a list of issues that were encountered during the dev release. Issues so far

Fixes in dev1 releases

• Server 2008 has a lower max write size than the total size of the PAExec binary, need to dynamically split this up into chunks if required - fixed with f5e2c28 (dev1 release)

• Server 2008 R2 causes a signature verification failure as it doesn't think it needs to sign the message, e.g. b"\x00" * 16 != actual sig - fixed with jborean93/smbprotocol@f8b53a3, STATUS_PENDING messages don't have a signature (dev1 release)

Fixes in dev2 releases

• Because smbprotocol runs a listener under a different thread, sometimes the process does not close properly if an error occurred - smbprotocol 0.0.1.dev2 changed the listener process and this no longer runs as a thread Fix move from Socket threading to non-blocking calls smbprotocol#2

• Different length hostnames or IP's can cause a PDU issue while connecting/creating a service - Connection errors. #4 - fixed with 948d1ed

Fixes in dev3 releases

• Managing a service was a bit problematic, this change makes thing more pythonic where it runs the command and catch known exceptions instead
• Added the ability to set a timeout for a connection based on smbprotocol changes
• Added a retry function when trying to connect to the remote named pipe

Fixes in dev4 release

• Not sure if it is an issue, but the test_client.TestClientFunctional.test_proc_with_stderr has gotten stuck 1 or 2 times during development. Need to keep an eye for this as I'm not sure if it was another issue that caused it. Caused by running multiple commands in short timeframes on the same service, added 1 sec timeout to the end of the functional client tests to fix this

Fixes still to complete

TBD
