Hi,

Is there a reliable way to detect if a file is a symbolic link?  There
is an isFile and isDirectory function, but no isLink.  Can this be done
with jcifs, or is there another method of detecting if a file is a
symlink? I am getting caught in an infinite loop when crawling the
network, and i dont want to have a hard depth limit.
