I've been suggested to get some logs and give a brief description of the problem I'm encountering with Cadds5 / Samba 2.0.6 and offer them to you , via http or ftp , to try to find a solution I 've collected the logs , can I send them with a description of the problem Thanks Stefano Colombo ( scolombo@cdmtc.it ) System / Network Engineer CDM Tecnoconsulting SPA v.

Dear Dave, Doesn't this only work if you're using samba as a domain controller and the client says "net use h: /home" I've not got it to redirect "//server1/username" to "//server2/username" when the NIS map says "user server2:/path/&" Though if it could be done I'd be VERY keen.

It's generally a bad idea to import data via NFS and re-export it via Samba:

A moderately-frequently asked question is "why do automounted directories in shares disappear?" The old answers were: 1) they timed out and auto-un-mounted, and 2) you shouldn't re-export NFS-imported stuff anyway. A new answer (0) was just suggested by a Sun techie: add a "browse" option to the automounter map entry, to make them appear even when they're not

Of course, having said that, the authentication errrors look as if the web server didn't have permission to read the files Samba provided. Do the Unix permissions on the files include read for

It's doable "below" Samba using the Samba VFS, by passing the start-point as part of a filename and having the VFS (which you'd have to write!) return the rest of the file. Say you were transferring
