Nope. Things are more interesting than that.

I've a 4.19 installation where msdfs links works both in listing
and when specified directly. There are 2 other installations of 4.19
where msdfs links doesn't work neither in listing nor when used directly.
And there was another install of 4.19 where msdfs isn't shown in dir
listing but works when specified directly - I upgraded this one to
4.20 today which fixed the issue there.  When direct access to msdfs
link doesn't work, windows report "file does not exist" error.

I can't see what's the actual difference, trying to debug it further.
At least 2 of these installs are identically configured member servers
of the same domain - one which I upgraded to 4.20 and another where
msdfs links doesn't work neither in listing nor directly (yesterday
it was both 4.19 but on one of them, direct access to msdfs links
worked while on another, reported as non-existing file).

Thanks,
