[Samba] number of aces in big endian format?

Huh? Ever since the original ARPAnet network data
(possibly except Microsoft) has been in BIGendian
format. See for example
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/ien/ien137.txt for details. 

It's easy to get the impression the native numeric
order of the Intel chip is "correct"; more likely it's
a horrid hack inherited from the micro world via the
Z80. 	

thanks!
