Subject: cifs: provide user with a hint when name resolution fails
From: Timo Witte <timo.witte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add additional info to the error message. cifs tries to resolve DNS Names
via /sbin/request-key but this is not installed by default in Ubuntu
systems, so you cant use DFS shares correctly without it.
