samba - Jan 2011 - SMB2 Negotiate Request

I am using samba 3.5.4 (and have tried 3.5.6) and have noticed that 
samba does not respond to SMB2 negotiate requests. If I use a SMB 
request to negotiate SMB2 it works fine. Does anyone know if there is 
there a reason for this, or is it a bug? I have tried searching for an 
answer but haven't been able to come up with anything.

thanks,
Mike

You need to set "max protocol = SMB2" to make smbd respond
to SMB2 requests. However I don't recommend turning it on
in 3.5.x, it has been completed for 3.6.0 (there are a few
ambitious sites using it in production). To check out 3.6.0
pull the git v3-6-test branch.
