Python Web Services Discovery Daemon, Windows Net serving
Run wsdd as a server announcing the Host to network. Install if running Samba smbd for file shares.
The wsdd daemon is used to announce Linux Hosts to Windows 7+ computers for use in their File Manager network browsing, by using the Windows Services Discovery Protocol.
This protocol is a local network segment procotol, which is multicasted on udp/3072, and incoming on tcp/5357 on the 239.255.255.250/ff02::c multicast addresses. It DOES have security issues, but it is designed for use in a trusted environment inside a firewall.
Its quite useful for Samba, taking over from WINS and the Samba nmbd daemon. Installing this restores the Network browsing functionality to Windows 7+ Samba clients.
