SMB_COM_OPEN_ANDX is listed as a Deprecated command in [MS-CIFS], which
should mean that Windows systems (W98SE and above) that negotiate NT LM 0.12
do not send SMB_COM_OPEN_ANDX.

At the back of my mind, I wonder whether W98SE sends NT Create&X or Open&X.
 If it sends Open&X then there's a bug in the document--and it would be my
bug--but I believe we tested this and checked the code a couple of years ago
when we were writing that section.

So... since the command is marked Deprecated in [MS-CIFS], it SHOULD NOT be
sent by clients if the negotiated dialect is NT LM 0.12.

...on the other hand, [MS-CIFS] section 1.7 recommends that servers support
Deprecated commands because clients might still send them.

Summary:
1) Volker is on the right track.  Smbclient should send NT Create&X
   if NT LM 0.12 has been negotiated (and Open&X for older dialects).
2) MacOS is clearly abandoning support for the LANMAN and Core dialects
   but they are, at least, returning the correct error code.
