click on any of the "ntdb?" directory, it just cd into the directory and nothing else happens. I don't see the files I should see... it doesn't seem to "redirect" the connection on server "smbhost". Does the "smbhost" in the symlink need to be a netbios name or can it be a fully qualified hostname, like smbhost.net.private.com ? Does the symlink final "name" need to be "msdfs:smbhost\\ntdb" or "msdfs:smbhost\ntdb" ? I've rebooted my Windows NT4 SP6A client, I've restarted Samba and the DFS share doesn't seem to work. Any clue? Thank you, Pierre B.
