[Samba] WinXP closing network share when starting task manager
Hello We use WinXP SP3 with samba "version 3.5.4-2382-SUSE-SL10.0" We have some drives mapped to users, most of them work fine but one behaves weird: upon starting the task manager by ctrl-alt-delete, the network drive disconnects.

[Samba] WinXP closing network share when starting task manager
I have looked at your log file and it says: "get_referred_path: |privat| in dfs path \a01\privat is not a dfs root." and I have also looked at your smb.conf file and it says you are having the privat share at the /nas/pdc/homedir/%U right? so if you are trying to map the directory or path to "%U" which means user, then this is why it is showing up as "\a01\privat" because it is taking the path for the user("%U") and adding a \privat(Which is the share the computer is trying to access)behind it. I would first try to take off the "%U" and put the path there first, and see if they are not disconnected when they open the task manager, and if there are not then the "%U" part was the problem but if it doesn't work, try to email me back and I will try to help you.> ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: blub at trans.am > To: samba at lists.samba.org > Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 17:02:08 +0100 > Subject: [Samba] WinXP closing network share when starting task manager > Hello > We use WinXP SP3 with samba "version 3.5.4-2382-SUSE-SL10.0" > > We have some drives mapped to users, most of them work fine but one > behaves weird: upon starting the task manager by ctrl-alt-delete, the > network drive disconnects. > >From what i can tell is that windows disconnects the drive, so i don't > think it is a bug of samba but maybe someone can help me figure this out > :-) > > Attached is the log and the relevant parts of smb.conf > > p.s. the share's name is 'privat' > > thanks & regards > vinz
