No, It is not working if the DFS target cannot be accessed anonymously.
Also keep derrell in the loop. :-)
Derrell & Jeremy:
       Here is the patch for master, pls review it. If it is OK, I'll
backport it to 3-[023]. Thanks!
       I have done some tests using code under directory
examples/libsmbclient/. Before the patch, DFS works with libsmbclient
only when DFS target can be accessed anonymously. After the change, it
works fine for me. :-)
       BTW: the Makefile under examples/libsmbclient seems broken,
missing some libraries. I can toggle it to build, __BUT__ I am really
not sure which ones are missed. :-)
