[Samba] Problems mounting a DOMAIN share, rather than a COMPUTER share
FreeBSD 6.2 + Samba 3.0.26a Can Samba mount a DFS share, using \\DOMAIN\dfs, rather than \\COMPUTER\dfs? The following command successfully lists all the shares on a domain controller, the same as \\DOMAIN does on Windows. One of the shares returned is "dfs" which is the root of my dfs tree: smbclient -U administrator -L domain.example.com | grep Disk So, I tried to mount "dfs" using the various commands below (errors are in ""), none of which work. Is this impossible, or am I missing something? Kind regards, Steve -- mount_smbfs -I domaincontroller.example.com //administrator@example.com/dfs /mnt "server name 'example.com' too long" mount_smbfs -I domaincontroller.example.com //administrator@domain/dfs /mnt "mount_smbfs: unable to open connection: syserr = Connection reset by peer" mount //administrator@domain/dfs /mnt "mount: //administrator@domain/dfs: No such file or directory" mount_smbfs //administrator@domain/dfs /mnt "mount_smbfs: can't get server address: syserr = Operation timed out"
