2) The Gluster protocols use RPC-credentials with number 5. This number is currently not dissected in packet-rpc.c, but I also doubt IANA assigned this number to the Gluster protocols. What would be the best way to add an implementation to dissect the credentials in the RPC-header? a) just dissect any number 5 flavour as Gluster-credentialsGoogle around to see if others may have (ab)used this number as well. If not, I'd just dissect it as Gluster's - with a comment in the code explaining it is non registered to Gluster (and worth shooting an email to the gluster dev list asking if they intend to register it).
Thanks for the response!Okay, so I could not find any references to any RPC protocol that implements AUTH-flavor '5' (AUTH_RSA). I've informed the Gluster developers that they can/should register RPC numbers (programs and AUTH-flavor) at IANA.
Bug 7190 contains the changes need to dissect AUTH_RSA as the format used by Gluster. I appreciate feedback about those changes in the Bug.
Thanks again, Niels ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
