We are working with a daemon-like Win2K/XP application that uses
GetServByName() to get the TCP/IP port to listen on. We would like to get it to work with windows terminal services such that if multiple terminal sessions are opened, each could have an instance of this application running (on the same target machine, of course). In order to make this possible, each instance would have to listen on a different port. Now, since there is a single common services file located in \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc, it makes it difficult to have each instance resolve into different port numbers (the service name is not configurable). Is there some way to trick the application to pick up different port numbers? For example, if it was possible to change the location of the services file to a unique directory for each terminal services user, it would solve the problem. Or, if it was somehow possible to intercept the GetServByName call... You get the idea. Any thoughts? --Joe G. |
