The 'official' opinion is that it basically works for me. I don't know
smb very well, nor do i have a compliated network with lots of smb
services set up, so i can't test it a lot. Whats needed is not mainly
bugreports, but people actually looking at the code trying to figure out
where it goes wrong for them.
