According to <http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20080110.202840.d90c205e.en.html>, DFS support for Linux CIFS is already on the roadmap for inclusion in 2.6.25, which will be out well before the lenny release. I realize this doesn't help you with your immediate need for smbfs support, but I do think that dropping smbfs in favor of cifs is the right course of action for lenny. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
