[Samba] Displaying correct file ownership information on smbfs filesystem

Hi

I'm mounting a remote Windows NT 4.0 share from a Debian Linux box via 
"mount -t smbfs -o username=foo //server/share /path/to/mount/point" 
which works well enough, and I can wander about the filesystem, but all 
the files have owner and group of "root" when one issues "ls -l".

Is there a mechanism for making the actual Windows NT file ownership 
information appear? Is this a Samba thing, or an smbfs thing?

Many thanks in advance,

Peter.
