Hi,
I'm trying to set up msdfs on FreeBSD 4.10 with samba 3.08.
The clients I use are WinXp (sp1) and the desktop browser on RedHat ES3.
Problems described beneath are identical for both clients.
I tried to follow the howto as precisely as possible to not into
problems, however, I did...
In /export/dfsroot I made a link msdfs:strsvr01\part0 . I made sure
everything is in lower case.
When I browse the shares with a client I can see the dfsroot okay, but
the link to the secundairy server is mangled to 8 chars. It shows up as
MX2XKC~O.
This is a snip from the user log with log level 10:
[2004/11/23 11:22:57, 5] smbd/trans2.c:get_lanman2_dir_entry(968)
get_lanman2_dir_entry found ./msdfs:strsvr01\part0
fname=msdfs:strsvr01\part0

name_map: msdfs:strsvr01\part0 -> 773A4B48 -> MX2XKC~O (cache=1)
[2004/11/23 11:22:57, 10] smbd/trans2.c:get_lanman2_dir_entry(1052)
Apart from this it all functions okay this way, but I want to get rid of
the mangling.
I set mangling method to "hash" ( it defaults to hash2) and tried
again. Now I can see the link under the dfsroot, but precisely as it is
on the ufs filesystem: msdfs:strsvr01\part0 and I can't open it anymore.

name_map() ==> [msdfs:strsvr01\part0]
I tried another dfs link with mangling method defaulted to 2. This link
was called part1. This one showed up as MX2XKC~P ( where part0 was
MX2XKC~O) so there must be some translation problem here.
Also I did some fiddling around with the "unix charset" setting. I
tried
ascii as well as utf8, but to no avail.
Any ideas?
