A warning about the "msdfs root = no" workaround: This broke some of the
drive mappings on Windows clients. Shares that are mapped via "NET USE"
(like in a logon script) don't seem to be affected - a name is a name -
but connections manually set up through the GUI seem to store some
additional information and had to be reconnected manually. So much about
network transparency *sigh*

I took the occasion and set up a logon script which does all the
mappings. This repaired some of the broken mappings automatically, but
some mappings still had to be disconnected manually. There seem to be
some other factors involved. Very weird.

I still think disabling an unused and broken feature is a good idea
anyway, but do some thorough testing and be prepared for having to fix
some issues manually.
