I'm trying to configure a samba server in a Win2K3 domain as a dfs host. The dfs host part is working: from a win client I can map the dfs root on the samba server (on FC3 fwiw) and see the link I've created to a share on a Win2k3 active directory domain controller. From samba server, I can smbclient to the share on the Win2k3 DC, and can mount the share as "-t cifs" (but not "-t smbfs" if that's any clue: this returns the smb signing error). For testing purposes I've added "everyone" to the security permissions for the share on the Win2k3 DC, but that doesn't seem to do anything. With the mount "-t cifs" I am prompted for a domain user account and password. But trying to get to the share through the dfs link doesn't even do that (prompt for a user and password). I suspect that this is a Win2k3 configuration issue, but am hoping nonetheless that a Samba guru can point me in the right direction.

I think this is what you saying is not working for you. recent smbclient release should follow the link ok. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCjjJyIR7qMdg1EfYRAi32AJ9XQcIp5Vs1a3s2aIBy8qCg5MrkHwCeJrNJ I7HCrtJfa4zO+xRpIr8epfY=KwvY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
