Thanks for that pointer, I will be sure to look into samba4, but right
now I'm having trouble wrapping my head around even the samba2 torture
tests.

That's how I started learning SMB too; it's a good introductory
resource, but not as good for reference or looking up obscure
functionality. I think I mostly found what I was looking for, though, in
the SNIA's CIFS reference:
http://www.snia.org/tech_activities/CIFS/CIFS-TR-1p00_FINAL.pdf
and the original CIFS spec:
http://ubiqx.org/cifs/rfc-draft/draft-leach-cifs-v1-spec-02.html
But any further links would be appreciated!
Also, I'm interested in knowing what purpose the VU test is supposed to
serve (I know what it does, that's outlined in the comments right above
the function). It first negotiates the protocol twice, which fails
immediately for Windows systems. Even after removin the second
negotiation, it tries to logon twice, which also fails. What does VUSER
stand for, and is this test built for Samba and not Windows?
