Package: smbfs
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: important

Creating hard links in smbfs mounted directories fails with 
smbfs 3.0.22-1:

tandem mnt 10> strace ln a b 2>&1 | grep link
   link("a", "b")                          = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

It works without problems in smbclient. With previous versions
(especially sarge) creating hard links did also work. 

The mounted directory comes from a solaris file server, so hard
links are not a problem on the server side.

Marked as important because I cannot any longer mount my mail
spool directories via smbfs (because movemail tries to create
hard links when locking files).

My smbclient version: smbclient      3.0.22-1
