advantage of the high availability and load balancing features provided
by the Cluster File Shares/DFS deployment model.
Linux Clients
A software update for Linux is available at the following location:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html
A Linux client implemented in Java is available at this location:
http://jcifs.samba.org/
In addition to interoperating with DFS, Linux clients can also connect
directly to Virtual File Shares. (See “Linux Clients” on page 34 for more
information.)
NOTE: The Samba smbcacls utility can be helpful for Linux clients that
need to handle Windows DACLs on PSFS filesystems. See the
Samba smbcacls man page for details.
Mac SMB Clients
A software update for Mac SMB clients is available at the following

Name Resolution
Virtual CIFS Server deployments work with FQDN (DNS resolution) or
IP address, but do not work with NetBIOS name resolution of
non-qualified NetBIOS names (including WINS and NetBT broadcasts). If
clients will be using non-qualified NetBIOS names, you must use Cluster
File Shares and DFS load balancing for high availability, instead of the
Virtual CIFS Server deployment method.
NOTE: By default, NetBIOS name resolution order is used on clients if the
name does not contain a dot. If the name does contain a dot,
hostname resolution order is used. Also, if DNS resolution fails
because of improper network or DNS setup, during host name
