Yep, it is accurate, when I sent it anyway.  If you make that fixed 
width font, and add a leading space to take up the leading bracket, your 
U matches to the user flag.  Gotta love the ascii art when it gets 
hacked by client programs and listservs, etc..  Here's a more concrete 
example that I'm pretty sure won't get screwed up.. if it does, I give up.

I was under the impression that the flags were something that samba used 
to keep itself sane...
