[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#460164: smbfs: Recursive directory listing with CIFS

[Randy Coulman]

Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.28-1
Severity: important

With the upgrade to 3.0.28-1, I am now unable to use any Windows shares
mounted from a Windows 2003 Server using DFS.  This is because CIFS does
not yet fully support DFS and the SMBFS-related scripts that I was using
have
been replaced with forwarders to CIFS.

When I mount a Windows share from such a server, I am able to see the
top-level directories in this share, but if I 'ls' any of these
directories, I get another list of the top-level directories.

Please consider keeping SMBFS support available until CIFS is able to
replace all reasonable uses of SMBFS.  As things stand today, I am
completely unable to access any Windows shares on my company's network.
