Hi, I'm trying to set up msdfs on FreeBSD 4.10 with samba 3.08. The clients I use are WinXp (sp1) and the desktop browser on RedHat ES3. Problems described beneath are identical for both clients. I tried to follow the howto as precisely as possible to not into problems, however, I did... In /export/dfsroot I made a link msdfs:strsvr01\part0 . I made sure everything is in lower case.

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible. My config is: --- [global] debuglevel = 10 netbios name = SAMBAII workgroup = XAMBA security = user domain logons = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes

Hi Samba team. I installed on a new server samba 3.2.0. And all work fine, except the reload-config command and other things. For resolve some missed-configuration, I modify the smb.conf and call smbcontrol <smbd_pid> reload-config, but it's not work. Ex : I added mdfs root = yes (same as samba 3.0.x), after I called smbcontrol xxxx reload-config [2008/07/28 00:17:34, 3]

We restored to 3.0.23d after update to 3.0.25a because of strange dfs behavior. the detailed situation: on msdfs root server 'samba' ls -lR dfsroot/: drwxr-xr-x appl1 dfsroot/appl1 lrwxrwxrwx share1 -> msdfs:server1\share1 [dfs] comment = "SaMBa DFS root" path = /path.../dfsroot # next line does not work prior 3.0.25 !!! # hide unreadable = Yes

Hi, Does anyone know if there has been any more progress on the problem of browsing 'complex dfs roots' see http://lists.samba.org/archive/smb-clients/2006-February/000622.html Basically it occurs whenever you have a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree where the links are to subfolders of the destination share. Microsoft clients have no trouble browsing such trees. The Samba HOWTO

Hi list DFS Links in a separate share seems to work, but in the [homes] section does not. Is this a known problem? Samba is 3.0.26a. /etc/smb.conf excerpts: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [global] ... host msdfs = yes ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes ... [dfstest] path = /data/dfsroot msdfs root = yes ---------------------------- 8<

Please help me understand why I am unable to connect to and browse the newly configured DFS tree that I installed on my Samba server according to the instructions found in Chapter 18. "Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree" of the official how-to. Irrespective of whether I try to access the dfs file tree from either the local file browser (and choosing the SMB tree) or from

Hi, I am trying to configure domain DFS (I think that's the correct term) as below, using the guide on the wiki: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS)#Configure_domain-based_DFS_in_Samba I am aware that the wiki says that this doesn't quite work... however it feels to me that it's very close, nearly working, and I might be able to get it going (hopefully?!)

Hi, We have been a samba shop since way back and have used DFS quit a lot the last years. When we went with security ads instead of domain our dfs died. We have tried 3.028(sun) in solaris wich we are leaving and 3.2.1 in linux, our migration target. For our 3.2.1 installation the config looks liket this and the problem manifests itself as a empty share. [Global] kernel oplocks = False oplocks

I've been testing DFS roots and I'm finding that while Vista and 2008 Server clients can connect with no problems, Windows XP Pro and 2003 Server clients fail. This seems like it's the wrong way round - Samba usually has more difficulties with recent Windows versions than older ones - but I can only assume that there's some registry/policy change between the versions. If anybody

Hi: I've got a samba/DFS server configured that works fine under it's original name, but I'm getting booted out of that DNS domain, into a subdomain. All my (WinXP) clients have drives mapped to names like \\server.domain.com\dfsroot. If I browse to the path, \\server.domain.com\dfsroot, everything works. I can access the shares pointed to via the dfs links But, now the network is

Robert Gurdon robert.gurdon at gmail.com 12:49 (0 perce) c?mzett: samba Hai, I would like to set up a DFS with this configuration: I have 3 Samba4 servers (4.1.4). 2 of them should work as a DFS "client" the third one will be the DFS stotage (actualy this servers has the required amount of space). So, i configured all shares on DC3 and point to those shares on DC1 and DC2. Everything

Is there a trick to being able to access shares via \\domain\dfsroot\.. rather than \\computer\dfsroot\... ? Only the latter works for me - samba 3.0.22

Since past the beta-times of samba 4 (and it worked in former times!!) it never worked like this: \\yourdomain\share or \\yourdomain \dfs-share. The only thing working along witch your domain is: \\yourdomain\netlogon. I had another thread open on this case some times ago.

Hi, - Server : Ubuntu server 11.04 - Samba 3.5.8 - (Likewise 6.0.0-2 if that can make sense... ? - Anyway : working fine; A.D. integration OK) - Client : windows XP SP3 When trying to use this brand new server as a DFS root, I'm facing an issue I can't solve: - Pointing to \\servername\dfsroot\linktootherserver I'm getting the error message "share refers to a location that is

Hallo, I'm using samba 3.0.20b-3.11-SUSE on a SLES-based system. My system has two NICs in this configuration eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:24:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.16.0.2 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Maske:255.255.0.0 eth1 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:1B:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.18.160.11 Bcast:172.18.255.255 Maske:255.255.224.0 eth0 points to

Hi, i tried to running Samba 3.0.9 with MSDFS under Linux 2.6.9. The normal sharing of Directories to the Target-Server (also Samba with same version and Linux) run's without problems. Only the dfs-share to the same Samba-Server is not usable. The Share-Name self is visible but without cointain. I have compiled the new source with the "--with-msdfs" switch and have also check the

Hi, I'm trying to create a map of DFS links to actual server/share's.? I know that you can get this information by logging on to the DFS root server, but I'm trying to use the libsmbclient API to get this information. I have created a fairly simple DFS structure on 2003 servers with everything on the same domain. //MyDomain/DFSRoot /Link1 -> //Fileserv-1/FileShare1

I've set up a dfs share according to instructions. There is one part of the instructions that I don't understand. I've checked the forum archives but can't find any examples which might help. In the Instructions section (4.1 of the HTML Samba Project Documentation), is shows how to set up the symbolic links in a DFS share, as shown below. I have 2 Samba servers (SMB1 and SMB2).
