[Samba] smbclient ls error: NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED (user permissions are okay)
Hi everyone: I'll try to be both succinct and accurate here: Attempting to get a directory listing from a DFS export fails using "Samba 3.0", but works fine on windows (XP, 2K, NT4). This happens via smbclient and via "smbmount"ed directories. I had no problem joining this domain, and the user that I am connecting as has permissions to open these folders (I checked from another machine). Testparm yields no problems, and I can l Here is an except of the error (NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED) in context: [bioinfo@array30 bioinfo]$ smbclient -d1 -A ~/.smbcred -I 129.85.1.211 "//rockefeller.edu/genearray" [2003/11/20 05:45:41, 1] client/client.c:do_connect(2598) Domain=[ROCKEFELLERNT] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790] Server=[Windows Server 2003 3790] smb: \> cd "Test Lab" smb: \Test Lab\> pwd Current directory is \\rockefeller.edu\genearray\Test Lab\ smb: \Test Lab\> ls NT_STATUS_PATH_NOT_COVERED listing \Test Lab\* 53607 blocks of size 524288. 44261 blocks available smb: \Test Lab\> quit [bioinfo@array30 bioinfo]$ smbclient -V Version 3.0.0 [bioinfo@array30 bioinfo]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) [bioinfo@array30 bioinfo]$ /lib/libc.so.6 | sed -ne "/[Ll]ibrary..*version/p" GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.2, by Roland McGrath et al. [bioinfo@array30 bioinfo]$ uname -r 2.4.20-6 I have limited knowledge as to the way our balkanized IT department has set this up on the server side, but it is my understanding that they are pulling together many file shares from various departments and presenting them to this department as a single virtual share (ie: "//rockefeller.edu/genearray"). Is this related to the ip (-I) argument that was necessary to connect in the first place? Without it I get a "connection refused" error (it points to one of the DFS servers). Any thoughts where to proceed next?
