It doesn't have to be this way. I'm sure you could implement a
cleaner method of a network neighborhood without having lots of
chatter and stuff. And if your going to do so, why make it flat - why
not allow a decent hierarchy or something?
Oh, and make authentication and transport use sane protocols. SMB is
horrid, really horrid.
Anyhow - NONE of this need be done in kernel, it could be done mostly
in userspace with autofs or userfs (although userfs sucks for speed).
