Hi list DFS Links in a separate share seems to work, but in the [homes] section does not. Is this a known problem? Samba is 3.0.26a. /etc/smb.conf excerpts: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [global] ... host msdfs = yes ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes ... [dfstest] path = /data/dfsroot msdfs root = yes ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- DFS Links: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- server# ls -la /data/dfsroot/ ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 21 Nov 26 09:31 test1 -> msdfs:server1\sharename lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 19 Nov 26 09:31 test2 -> msdfs:server2\sharename lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 17 Nov 26 09:31 test3 -> msdfs:server3\sharename server# ls -la /home/staff/myaccount/ ... lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 25 Nov 28 10:22 Pool1 -> msdfs:server1\sharename lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 17 Nov 28 10:22 secure -> msdfs:server2\sharename ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- The error on the Windows client is "Network path not found".

Can anyone confirm if DFS root in [homes] should work or not?

What we use at the moment is the special share [homes], which lets users map their homeshare with a path like \\servername\username Is anybody using this with DFS?
