Okay, that alleviates my concerns.

Here is another thought.  If we go with one pty per smbd, what happens
when a single smbd is serving multiple users, through a Windows Terminal
Server?  Actually, I've never tried to send a smbclient message to one of
these users.  Does the message appear on all the clients, or only on the
main console?
