That's pretty much what Windows does.  However, there are other
ways to detect OS the server you are talking to.  Just knowing
what servers support which capabilities in the SMB flags2 field
or possibly looking at the SMBsesssetup&X reply contains
information.

That's how we fill in the %a variable in smbd.  Look for calls
to set_remote_arch().
