Thanks for this ... I will look it over and fold the changes in.  The code
is undergoing lots of change at the moment.  What version did you patch
against?
Some of them look very useful, and I have already seen that I have a
problem with passwords from Win2000.

Yes, Microsoft! Ha Ha :-)

Seriously, I think that we already have an ascii display of them.

If you look at the recent BROWSER stuff, you will see what some of them
mean.  Another source of information is Luke Leighton's book on MSRPC.

My next target is the \MAILSLOT\NET stuff for all the NTLOGON and NETLOGON
stuff, and then MSRPCs.
