No, they don't. That you can work around. One thing to be aware of is that SMB is apparently clueless when it comes to soft links. I tried to copy my /home directories from an old machine to the new one using SMB. It worked until it hit a file in my ~/.gnome-desktop directory that links back to ~. Can you say "infinite loop"? :-) That was when I decided to use NFS between Linux machines, and only use SMB when there's a Windows machine involved. Just my experience.
