[Samba] Automounting DFS path published shares under RHEL 5 with Samba?
I'm dealing with a Linux environment with extensive automounting, that also has DFS configurations for the Windows clients of various CIFS systems. I've got CIFS automounting working for various CIFS servers, which definitely has its uses, but I'd *love* to be able to mount the DIFS published paths for the CIFS shares? Basically, if I have shares called \\example1\share1 and \\example2\share2, and DFS publishes them as \\domain\share, I'd like to be able to mount /mnt/cifs/domain/share and have it resemble the DFS layout, without having to go back and personally figure out what the DFS shares actually resolve to.

I am not exactly can see what you want to do. But with samba you have to make a dfsroot and ln -s msdfs That?s all. Ex.: In your [global] host msdfs=yes Then make a directory [dfsdir] Path=/some/where Msdfs root=yes /some/where ln -s msdfs:server\\share name Or high available, /some/where ln -s msdfs:server1\\share1,server2 \\share2 name Or you use dfs poxy in your smb.conf. You just make a virt. share that is linked to another servers share [thevirtshare] Msdfs root=yes Msdfs proxy =\anotherserver\hisshare If you now map the share you are redirected Good Luck Daniel ----------------------------------------------- EDV Daniel M?ller Leitung EDV Tropenklinik Paul-Lechler-Krankenhaus Paul-Lechler-Str. 24 72076 T?bingen Tel.: 07071/206-463, Fax: 07071/206-499 eMail: mueller at tropenklinik.de Internet: www.tropenklinik.de ----------------------------------------------- -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba-bounces at lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Im Auftrag von Nico Kadel-Garcia Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.
