The reason you haven't heard requests for this feature (IMHO) is
that no one knows it's even possible. It's been in the server
and client libraries for abouut 5+ years (if my memory serves
me right). Once you make it available in CIFSFS I think you'll
find a whole host of opportunities will open up for CIFS use
that weren't there before from people who need secure transport but
don't want to set up IPsec.
