That's interesting, but not unexpected.  The focus of the team has been
in smbtorture tests and enabling windows clients, and it seems nobody
has turned their attention to using this in our client code.  The
message you get is from the simple switch statement in
source3/lib/util.c:interpret_protocol().  However, I would be quite
surprised if changing that suddenly made the rest of the code work.

Yes, these tests are run multiple times per day in our automated
selftest system.  This is started with 'make test'.

Generally you can run any test with something like
'smbtorture //host/share test.name -Uuser%pass'

Volker gave you some clues earlier, I suggest following those up.

Registering new tests is a little tricky, the easiest way essentially is
to follow the example of a similar test you wish to adapt.
