[Samba] CIFS and DFS

[Peter Weiss]

hello,

maybe this is the wrong place, but according to

    http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html 

linux kernel cifs should be able to handle M$ dfs shares. I looked at the
installation and usage instructions but it doesn't work. On the mount.cifs
manpage I found no hint about a special switch to activate dfs parsing.

Can anybody put some light into this?

TIA -- Peter
