Exporting the user-to-user protocol is an expected feature for DCE 1.2 - so
I would not be surprised if it did not work in the current code - since it
isn't tested (though I could be wrong. There have been bug fixes applied
past MIT Beta 1 for the DCE code base and I haven't tracked them all) I'd
be interested in hearing any reports people have on this.
