[linux-cifs-client] mknod on CIFS

[Nicolas Dufresne]

Hi,
I'm trying to get mknod to work on CIFS.  I'm testing it with mkfifo.  I
activated /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI.  Here's the result:

mkfifo allo
    mkfifo: cannot create fifo `allo': Permission denied

In the /var/log/messages

Any advise would be appreciated.
