It's not new. There has long been a feature in NT that supports "signing"
of Server Message Blocks. Samba doesn't support it. You could also set a
system to require signing. With Win2K3, that is on by default. You can
make it optional again with a registry tweak. You also need to do this if
you have Win9X/ME boxes in your network. Ho-hum.

Yah, they totally rewrote the "1" to a "2". ;-)
