permissions on win-symlinks?

permissions on win-symlinks?

[L. A. Walsh]

I noticed that most of the symlinks I see through cifs
now work (providing it is a "follow-able" path).

----

my fstab looks like (working entry first, fails commented out afterwards:

//Athenae/C/  /athenae/ cifs  
user,noauto,rw,uid=law,gid=Administrators,nocase,serverino,credentials=/home/law/.ssh/athenae,setuids,noauto 
0 0
tried: 
  (tried multiuser but didn't make progress -- never saw any auths 
requests to the server either...now sure what I did wrong...(?))

#//BLISS/ATHENAE/C$/  /athenae/ cifs  
user,noauto,rw,netbiosname=Athenae,domain=BLISS,username=Bliss/law,sfu,multiuser,nocase,serverino,setuids,noauto 
0 0

Wanted to setup a script on my end to answer multi-user ID 
requiests...but that
didn't seem to work sell either (I can mount, but all files are owned by 
root.root where I don't have access to most).

Any ideas?

BTW -- I thought the resolving of the symlinks to be 'cool'....
