mount -t smbfs and msdfs...

Greets to all.

I was just wondering if mounting samba shares and microsoft
dfs are too far apart conceptually to work together.

(ie allow someone to mount a dfs root and magically get access
 to all those shares listed under dfs)

I have noted in the samba mail archives that smbclient cannot
act as a dfs client (and tested it for myself)

Is it a case of "implement it for yourself if you want it"
or "dfs is too different to work with smbclient"?

If this did work, combining it with pam_mount would be schweet.
