I would venture to guess that SMB/CIFS may not have a link command - afaik, the OSes that originally/natively use(d) it do not support links of any kind. It may be worthwhile to suggest such a feature, since CIFS has for quite some time proliferated itself as a cross-platform network filesystem. -Justin -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
