I run Samba 1.9.18p8 on Suse Linux 5.3 I export the / (root directory) via Samba to some NT workstations. I have some NFS directoriesfrom HPUX hosts automounted to /misc and /nfs on this Linux machine. I do **not** want those directories be re-exported by Samba. I have put the parameter dont descend = /nfs,/misc,/proc,/dev into smb.conf. I tried many variant, putting it in the global are or in the [root_dir] are, writing it with commas or with blanks (manpage contradicts tridge examples here), and writing it with leading ./ or / the result is always the same: When I access the linux / from an NT machine, I can descend into the NFS-mounts, into /proc and /dev. It looks like the 'dont descend' is totally ignored by the smbd daemon. The testparm utility shows the 'dont descend' paramater as I write it into smb.conf. I have always stopped smbd and restarted it after making changes to smb.conf.
