Tried to implement that, doesn't work. The windows redirector does not allow
arbitrary ioctls to pass over smb over tcp, it's only ones that it likes.

I'd be happy though to be proven wrong, I think installing just some user space
utilities for administration definitely has benefits over having to install
kernel-mode ifs drivers. If you tell me how I get the AFS ioctls across to
Samba I might be tempted to implement the server side.... :-)
