A Partial List of Missing Features
==================================

for visible, important contributions to this module. Here
is a partial list of the known problems and missing features:
a) Support for SecurityDescriptors for chmod/chgrp/chown so
these can be supported for Windows servers
a) Support for SecurityDescriptors(Windows/CIFS ACLs) for chmod/chgrp/chown
so that these operations can be supported to Windows servers
b) Better pam/winbind integration (e.g. to handle uid mapping
b) Mapping POSIX ACLs (and eventually NFSv4 ACLs) to CIFS
SecurityDescriptors
c) Better pam/winbind integration (e.g. to handle uid mapping
better)
c) multi-user mounts - multiplexed sessionsetups over single vc
(ie tcp session) - more testing needed
d) Kerberos/SPNEGO session setup support - (started)
e) NTLMv2 authentication (mostly implemented)

very old servers)
