Hi, i tried to running Samba 3.0.9 with MSDFS under Linux 2.6.9. The normal sharing of Directories to the Target-Server (also Samba with same version and Linux) run's without problems. Only the dfs-share to the same Samba-Server is not usable. The Share-Name self is visible but without cointain. I have compiled the new source with the "--with-msdfs" switch and have also check the used symlink for lower case. example: (ln -s msdfs:srvsmbp10\install2 install2) In the samba debug-log (Level 10) the following contain is visible: ------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
