Then probably we can have a tiny suid-executable that's just a reflector: redirects all incoming packets to some other port, and vice versa.
The real solution is to talk through Samba or the kernel. If Wine owns port 138/139 then Samba won't work, and vice versa. There needs to be some sharing mechanism.
This is one of the many things I hope we will discuss at the WineConf. There should be a good Samba contingent there, and I'm assured a few wine folks intend to turn up ;-)
In all seriousness, there are existing mechanisms to get at some of these packets to non-root users, but they are a bit of a Samba-specific hack. For Samba4 (which is where we should plan integration, because we can design it properly) I would love to see wine able to register for such mailslots with the Samba server. (Alternate non-samba solutions will probably be required in parallel, I suppose).
