As Aurélien said, it's not yet in the smbd server. We are
planning to implement it, although other bugs/features might
have greater priority. If it's important to you I'd suggest
assigning some engineers to work with us on it (happy to
point them at the right parts of the code) or hire a
Samba consulting company to implement for you.
