+ help
+ Distributed File System (DFS) support is used to access shares
+ transparently in an enterprise name space, even if the share
+ moves to a different server. This feature also enables
+ an upcall mechanism for CIFS which contacts userspace helper
+ utilities to provide server name resolution (host names to
+ IP addresses) which is needed for implicit mounts of DFS junction
+ points. If unsure, say N.
