yep - by design ;)

thats odd ... I never knew that - is it accessible via the shell or is only 
accessible via open() system call (I can't get either to work with vanilla 
RH7.0 kernel). Also does this also work on other unixes?

hmm .. that is a bug then ... thought I had a testcase to check against that 
.. maybe thats broken aswell.

Damn - we are meant to be going for world domination? I thought it was 
quality. 

Besides I would hardly call commons representative of jakarta ... god - at

At least on the shell for the mount command ...

I think smbclient will handle that as well, I don't think you can use
it as a filename in other situations, but I've never tried it.

Don't run Samba on my home FreeBSD system, sorry, I don't know.

This was just from glancing at the code, I may be wrong as I turned to
my own stuff rather quickly.
