Comment:
I'm going to close this PR due to bit rot and rebase. I had an interesting conversation with Chris Hertel and Jose Rivera last night in Minneapolis; I need to read up on SMB internals a bit before I'm comfortable with this patch. Chris described how the timeout mechanism on the Windows side works a bit, from legacy to current as he could best remember and it's frightful.
Which brings me to my philosophical question for anyone that cares to chime in; do we care if the Samba client side truly emulates a Windows client or only that it interfaces well enough and doesn't do anything "clever" when talking to non-Windows hosts? To be clear, this is mostly academic since more modern SMB dialects aren't nearly as scary, as I understand it, on both ends of the wire. This is more about future changes than this particular patch set.
