There was a bunch of work done about a year or two ago to make DFS work with
libsmbclient, and I recall adding smbc_set_credentials() fairly recently. I
don't have any kind of test setup for DFS, so I have to rely on reports from
the field in that area. This should be as automated as possible without
affecting non-DFS environments. If you have a test environment for DFS,
please test your changes and then send me a patch to libsmbclient.

Thanks,
