Hallo, I'm using samba 3.0.20b-3.11-SUSE on a SLES-based system. My system has two NICs in this configuration eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:24:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.16.0.2 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Maske:255.255.0.0 eth1 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:1B:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.18.160.11 Bcast:172.18.255.255 Maske:255.255.224.0 eth0 points to the internal network with several WinXP(pro) clients, eth1 points to a dmz with an Windows2003 server (IP: 172.18.160.10) with several shares. I want to distribute some of these shares to the WinXP-clients in my network. I've modified "smb.conf" as mentioned in the docs and HowTos, made the links to the dfsroot. Here's my smb.conf: [global] .... host msdfs = yes .... [agbschueler] browsable = no msdfs root = yes comment = Schueler-Bereich im AGB-LAN msdfs proxy = \172.18.160.11\schueler path = /export/dfsroot valid users = @teachers [agblehrer] browsable = no msdfs root = yes comment = Lehrer-Bereich im AGB-LAN msdfs proxy = \172.18.160.11\lehrer$\_lehrerbereich_ path = /export/dfsroot valid users = @teachers [agbhome] browsable = no msdfs root = yes comment = HOME im AGB-LAN msdfs proxy = \172.18.160.11\%U$ path = /export/dfsroot valid users = @teachers The shares "agbschueler" and "agblehrer" work very fine, i.e. no problem. But when trying to connect to "agbhome" the user is prompted for a login and password. But with correct login/password the share wasn't connected. admin:~ # ls -lgG /export/dfsroot/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 20 2007-03-28 09:36 home -> msdfs:172.18.160.10\ lrwxrwxrwx 1 43 2007-02-04 11:44 lehrer -> msdfs:172.18.160.10\lehrer$\_Lehrerbereich_ lrwxrwxrwx 1 28 2007-03-28 09:35 schueler -> msdfs:172.18.160.10\schueler Thanks for any hints why "agbhome" couldn't be connected.
