[Samba] for what it's worth, I think I have inadvertently solved an old problem...
All, For the longest time I was having this strange folder recursion problem. It persisted through many samba upgrades. The problem can be seen here in this thread: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&safe=off&frame=right&th=48f08dabcabb2877&seekm=9oglr1%241d66%241%40FreeBSD.csie.NCTU.edu.tw#link1 I think my configuration was wrong, and as I was using security = server, it's incorrectness was not apparent. I am using MSDFS and the roots are hosted by NetBIOS aliases. I stumbled on the fix by trying to get security = domain to work. In my %L.conf files, I had a line stating the NetBIOS name of the alias, as in: in the accounting.conf file I had: NetBIOS name = accounting When I tried to get domain security to function, I could not get any of the aliased servers to authenticate. Puzzling over this, I commented out this line in the alias .conf files, and voila - I could now auth, and interestingly, the recursion problem also disappeared. Seems kinda logical now, I guess. Hopefully, this will help others pulling their hair out too. Cheers, -- Christopher Barry Manager of Information Systems InfiniCon Systems http://www.infiniconsys.com
