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<

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible. My config is: --- [global] debuglevel = 10 netbios name = SAMBAII workgroup = XAMBA security = user domain logons = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes

Hi I've no idea if anyone can help with this, or if it's even a good idea, but I'll give it a go.......... I've been charged with providing a level of fail-over with a Samba implementation, and without going down the shared storage/cluster approach it was suggested that we consider using the File Replication Service in Win2k to mirror a complete share tree from the primary SMB

Hello, we have installed three samba servers(3.0.25a). All are members in the same active directory domain (TESTAD). Now I try to set up a new samba server (Version 3.0.10-1.4E.12.2 , newest version for Sientific Linux 4.4) in front of them which use ms-dfs to forward the request to the right samba server. This server is an AD member,too. I find out, that I have to run winbind on the new

Hallo, I want to use several DFS-Shares from a M$-Server trough my Samba-Server (3.0.20b-3.21-1370-SUSE on an OpenSchoolServer).

Hi guys, I haven't seen any replies to this, but im seeing the exact same thing with Fedora 7 samba (with all the currently available patches). using winbind into a an ADS realm. My samba is 3.0.25b. Clients are XP, 2003 r2 SE and EE 32bit, 2003 r2 SE 64 bit. All work ok for a while, then suddenly start doing the same as below. I.e., when mapped it looks fine, then some time in the future

Is the issue below addressed in 3.0.25b? (no freebsd port available yet so I'm still at 3.0.25a) I can't see anything specifically about this in the release notes. I just want to add that I've also seen this behaviour on a windows xp x64 client. It's a pretty serious problem.. so I'm also thinking I may have to revert to an earlier version if it doesn't look like a

We restored to 3.0.23d after update to 3.0.25a because of strange dfs behavior. the detailed situation: on msdfs root server 'samba' ls -lR dfsroot/: drwxr-xr-x appl1 dfsroot/appl1 lrwxrwxrwx share1 -> msdfs:server1\share1 [dfs] comment = "SaMBa DFS root" path = /path.../dfsroot # next line does not work prior 3.0.25 !!! # hide unreadable = Yes

Hi, I'm am trying to configure our samba server to use dfs. It authenticates against active directory but it gets the uid mappings from nis via the local nsswitch. I think I have configured dfs ok as smbclient[1] seems to work ok with my minimal config[2]. However I can't access it from Windows XP[3], I get "network path was not found" when using "net use" from a

What is msdfs? What can you do with it that you could not do without it? David

Hi, I am using 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.06. I'm trying to setup a DFS root. Here is the smb.conf share section: [test] path=/var/test writable=yes msdfs root=yes The /var/test contains a single symlink: $ ls -l /var/test total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2007-05-22 14:56 pdf -> msdfs:cladms004\pdf On a Win2K client I can connect to \\cladms004\pdf successfully.

Hi, I am trying to configure domain DFS (I think that's the correct term) as below, using the guide on the wiki: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS)#Configure_domain-based_DFS_in_Samba I am aware that the wiki says that this doesn't quite work... however it feels to me that it's very close, nearly working, and I might be able to get it going (hopefully?!)
