wsdd: Python Web Services Discovery Daemon, Windows Net Browsing

 This 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.
 .
 Install only this if running Gnome desktop, or GVFS and not announcing
 well known File shares. See wsdd-server for working with Samba servers.

wsdd-server: 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.

 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.
