samba - Mar 2004 - Please help me with configuring samba as Dfs root !

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
    os level = 33
    encrypt passwords = yes
    passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap.setuza.cz"
## ldap sam
...
## dfs
    host msdfs = yes
...
## misc
    follow symlinks = yes
...
## shares
    writeable = no
    create mask = 660
    directory mask = 770
...
[dfs]
    path = /var/samba/dfsroot
    msdfs root = yes
    follow symlinks = no
[test]
...
---

My dfs root is:
root@sambaii:/# ls -ld /var/samba /var/samba/dfsroot
drwxrwx---    7 9999     Domain U     4096 Mar  4 19:07 /var/samba/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     Domain U     4096 Mar  5 17:17 /var/samba/dfsroot/
root@sambaii:/# ls -l /var/samba/dfsroot
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Mar  5 17:17 inoupd ->
msdfs:rumba\\inoupdate
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 Mar  5 17:01 lavir ->
msdfs:prog23t\\lv
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Mar  4 19:20 pokus ->
msdfs:prog01t\\share

In logfile I found target name only in this line:
...

The link should actually look like (on backslash).

	pokus -> msdfs:prog01t\share

The docs say to use '\\' (and escaped backslash) when you invoke ln
to create the link.  You should only have only backslash in the
final link.

Hope this helps.





cheers, jerry
