I discovered yesterday that most SMB servers have a global connection limit of about 11 users. After that limit's reached, it seems that everybody has to wait for somebody to leave. To test how programs react to an exhausted connection list, I was getting tired of opening a dozen smbclient instances so I threw together smb-flood.nse. Any thoughts? It's another unusual script, because it has a very specific purpose (and, in fact, never ends). I don't know how useful it is to include, but it definitely has a use.
I think this is fine to include. You can commit it. Maybe we'll end up deprecating the "all" category. Like Patrick says, what people probably want is "safe" instead. "all" was marginally useful when we had only a few dozen scripts, but I don't want it to hold us back from adding useful special-purpose scripts.
