[Samba] samba4 & (domain) dfs

[Michael De Groote]

[update]

Connecting from WinXP works perfectly... (a non-domain xp machine)
I'll try to get some packet captures from an xp machine next week if that
is necessary... (only working one day/week at school, the rest of my
searching for this is in my spare time, but then i dont have physical
access to some machines, and for packet capturing on a windows machine,
well.. that's way more convenient)

it would be awesome if there was a way to have more debugging output from
the win7 client, like the way one can do e.g. with smbclient -d 5
