+wsdd2 (WSD/LLMNR Descovery/Name Service Daemon)
+
+Provides samba share descovery for clients who don't support netbios
+or are running ip6 (which netbios does not support).
+Effectively this allows modern windows computers to find samba
+shares, and allows you to avoid smb1/smb2 for which there are many
+exploits in the wild. This is based on the NETGEAR implimentation.
+
+NOTE: make sure you allow local ip6 connections in your samba config
+otherwise there will be no shares found. if you use "hosts allow"
+then add fc00::/7 fe80::/64 ::1
+to the list of your local ip4 addresses so that local ip6 pcs can
+use your shares.
+
+NOTE2: make sure ports 5357 (tcp) and 3702 (udp) are open if you
+are using a firewall.
+
+to get wsdd2 to run automatically on startup add the following lines
+in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
+
+#start wsdd2 daemon if samba is configured
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 start
+fi
+
+and to stop it on shutdown, add the following to
+samba section in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown
+
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 ]; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 stop
+fi
