I was very tempted recently to add the last piece, the creation of new
services.  But Samba3's RPC parsing code has always given me the willies
(and not just since I started on Samba4), so I never quite got to it.  I
suppose I'll get to adding it to libnet sometime :-)

Jerry:  You said you had an errata for the Samba4 IDL in this area, do
you have a reference for what this was?
