This boolean parameter is only available if
Samba is configured and compiled with the \fB --with-msdfs\fR option. If set to yes,
Samba treats the share as a Dfs root and allows clients to browse
the distributed file system tree rooted at the share directory.
Dfs links are specified in the share directory by symbolic
-links of the form \fImsdfs:serverA\\shareA,serverB\\shareB
