The concept of private namespaces does not exist on FreeBSD.

It would require a modification of the lookup mechanism, and,
potentially, a seperation of credentials from the process into
a session manager.

This is actually the problem at issue in an SMBFS implementation,
and for which the Linux guys punted: the credential in SMB is
per connection, not per user.

There is some newer stuff in LANMan to deal with this inter-NT,
and SAMBA incorporates this, but session ID's are not supported
over a single VC by all LANMan servers.

NetWare has the same problem, FWIW, as does NUC (a client FS for
NetWare).
