Hello, my company recently changed the stucture of some shares (Win2000). Since then, we are not able to access these shares from Linux/Solaris anymore. I tried smbmount and smbclient and can access the top-level directory of the share and see the directory structure, but I can't see any data inside these directories. A few days ago, someone told me that msdfs is used for the new structure of these fileservers. As far as I know, smbclient and smbmount doesn't support msdfs with redirects, so I tried the Linux Kernel patch for the Linux cifs client (de.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html). I successfully patched the kernel (debian 2.4.19), installed the modules and placed mount.cifs under /bin. I'm able to mount my home share from one server (no msdfs). mount -t cifs //server/uid$ /mnt -o username=uid,domain=domain,pass=pass,unc=//server/uid$ But I get an error if I try to mount the msdfs share. mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt -o username=uid,domain=domain,pass=pass,unc=//server/share mount: Not a directory Here is a trace I did with ethereal (without details).

I can't expect much help from the people who are responsible for these Win2000 servers. Linux/Unix is not a supported OS... Thanks, Ralf
