Add a comment on how this error map was derrived.
This applies only to the NT->Dos map, I'm still trying to come up with a way to do the reverse. (This used to be commit 323dd422bd4bdeeee72c9200821e28f86d3072c8)

+/* This map was extracted by the ERRMAPEXTRACT smbtorture command.
+ The setup was a Samba HEAD (2002-01-03) PDC and an Win2k member
+ workstation. The PDC was modified (by using the 'name_to_nt_status'
+ authentication module) to convert the username (in hex) into the
+ corresponding NTSTATUS error return.
+
+ By opening two nbt sessions to the Win2k workstation, one negotiating
+ DOS and one negotiating NT errors it was possible to extract the
+ error mapping. (Because the server only supplies NT errors, the
+ NT4 workstation had to use its own error tables to convert these
+ to dos errors).
+
+ Some errors show up as 'squashed' because the NT error connection
+ got back a different error to the one it sent, so a mapping could
+ not be determined (a guess has been made in this case, to map the
+ error as squashed). This is done mainly to prevent users from getting
+ NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD and NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER errors (they get
+ NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE instead.
