Apologies, but I was under the impression from Steve that ksmbd didn't support
SMB1 and was never going to.  Further, I'm pretty certain I have been building
the server and it hasn't shown up any errors - and Steve hasn't mentioned any
either.

You're not mentioned in the MAINTAINERS record for CIFS.  I did, however, send
it to the linux-cifs mailing list six times, though.
