In addition, there isn't really any such thing as a CIFS Server API.  You
can look at the SNIA doc and implement the 'best-practices' set of SMB
messages, but I don't know what will happen then.  The clients may be polite
and ask your server to do only what it can do, or they might start DoSing
you with Trans2, NTTrans, and DCE/RPC requests that you can't complete
unless you write lots and lots of other stuff too.

I haven't gotten that yet (and Samba aims toward the implement-everything
extreme) so I don't know what will actually happen.
