Anyone know what bit 4 is in the flags2 field on the SMB header?

Thanks.  Except Win2K and XP both set bit 4 but Vista
does not (neither does NT4).  I've got %a expansion
working with Vista based on that flag being cleared.  And
to avoid any confusion, I know bit 3 in the SNIA draft
says its reserved (counting from 0) so I'm looking for one
bit up from that.




cheers, jerry
