Hi Daniel,

Something occurred to me earlier today:

Why not have it send NBD_OPT_STARTTLS as the first message if you want
to do TLS? That way, either the server doesn't support it because too
old (and you get NBD_REP_ERR_UNSUP) or configuration (and you get
NBD_REP_ERR_POLICY), or it does and you're in TLS.

Did I miss something?
