Hi all,

I have a slight problem in mounting msdfs shares of windows 2003 servers.

At work we have a bunch of windows servers and intend to use linux boxes
with seemless integration 
Into the windows network with Active directory (ADS) operational.

I achieved   
	- to add the linux boxes into the domain and into the ADS
	- to authenticate wih pam services against ADS 
	- to mount all the home directories of the users during the login
phase useing pam_script
	 and using mount.cifs

All works well

But i found no way how to mount some msdfs shares located on the windows
boxes.
I have no chance to migrate them to linux/samba, instead i have to provide
this shares in some
transparent way to the linux box (running SUSE 9.3 professional) as it is
possible with mount.cifs 
For the other shares.

ANY idea ??? 
I'm stuck 

Thanks for your help in advance
