[linux-cifs-client] Mounting directories below share level

[J. A. Landamore]

>From my investigations, and searching the archives, it seems that smbfs can 
only mount shares, and not directories under the share

i.e.

smbmount //host/share /mnt		works
smbmount //host/share/directory /mnt	doesn't work

Our W2K3 server has user home directories in a tree where there are no user 
rights to the next node up the tree (level1), which is the directory on the 
share, 

i.e. //host/share/level1/user_home_directories

We need to directly mount //host/share/level1/user_home_directory on Linux 
clients, as we can do on 2000/XP clients.  Will linux_cifs give me that 
possibility?

Thanks
