    Yeah, the '<' sent a shiver as I wrote it.  find uses "-5" means 
'<=5', but
the minus bothered me a bit, but perhaps less than the '<'.
Was looking at samba's switches they allow specifying "min" and "max"
for protocols, that could be written compactly with "proto=+smb1,-smb2.1",
or any number of more verbose options.  The options for auth+security seem
a bit less regular than always specifying a range, like some options 
automatically disable lower security options -- I suppose specifying
a 'max' isn't needed, since if once side offers a higher level that is
too high for the other, the other can just NACK during the negotiation.

Better get back to lurking now... ;-)
