Hmm   yes it would.
It is semi-tricky to do since the username is stored 3 protocols down
from the smb2 layer
(smb2->gssapi->spnego->ntlmssp)
and we dont want to have dissectors accessing other layers directly.

A small enhancement to the tap api might do the trick and be generic
enough to serve as a vehicle to pass arbitrary data between layers.


let me think about it for a while.
