Well in defense of NetBench (I can't believe I'm saying this :-) it doesn't attempt to give full coverage of SMB, that would be the job of a conformance tester. It only tries to shovel data to the server as fast as possible, trying to create "realistic" capacity situations. Just having a simple, Open Source/Free Software benchmark that would do the same would be a good start, we can argue about how to extend it once we have buy in that the new benchmark makes a good NetBench replacement (ie. can we get the magazines to run it instead of NetBench).
