Hi We setup a samba server (3.02a ) under Debian, acting as PDC. Clients are w98 S.E. and XP sp1. Server name is box-p In smb.conf we configure: [clouds] ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes We create dfs links in home directory of users : ln -s msdfs:box-p\\clouds shared When users log into PDC using an win98 machine they find "shared" in his home, and can access it. When users log into PDC using an win XP pro they find "shared" in his home, but can't access it: the resource is inaccesible or doesn't exists. We tried to move the dfs to other share, acting as dfs root, and create mdfsd links there. Then any machine can see "share" and have access to its contents. We need the first configuration, because we can create differents links for any user. (there are many shares, and we don't want show all for any user) ?Any idea? F. Latorre Segovia Spain
Any error messages in smbd log? Igor F.
