Hi,
I'm am trying to configure our samba server to use dfs. It authenticates
against active directory but it gets the uid mappings from nis via the
local
nsswitch. I think I have configured dfs ok as smbclient[1] seems to work ok
with my minimal config[2]. However I can't access it from Windows XP[3],
I get
"network path was not found" when using "net use" from a
cmd.exe.
From the logs[4], it's as if windows does not think it's a dfs share or
samba
is not serving it up as a dfs share. Even at debug level 10 when windows
accesses the server msdfs.c is never mentioned.
I have sort of hit a dead end and was hoping that someone would have a fix?
Regards
