[cifs-protocol] Identifying Matching Share Subtrees

[Scott Goldstein]

Excuse my lack of knowledge here, but when you say use the
"GetShareInfo() rpc", are you referring to something in the CIFS
protocol itself or a method on a particular CIFS client?  If it's the
former, is there a open source CIFS client which exposes this portion of
the protocol?

You can use the GetShareInfo() rpc to check the actual path on disk
and compare them.  I think that's the eariest route.
