Yes, I recall that particular... 'feature' of smbtorture. :)

Currently, smbtorture is being built and included in the Debian 
packages.  If it's the wish of the Samba team that smbtorture binaries 
not be shipped, I'll arrange to have it removed.  Otherwise, Debian 
policy requires all executables to have associated manpages, so I would 
have to write one. :)
