Hi, Does anyone know if there has been any more progress on the problem of browsing 'complex dfs roots' see http://lists.samba.org/archive/smb-clients/2006-February/000622.html Basically it occurs whenever you have a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree where the links are to subfolders of the destination share. Microsoft clients have no trouble browsing such trees. The Samba HOWTO

I apologize because I know that this has surely been dealt with and documented before, but I cannot find it anywhere on the samba website, nor did a google search produce anything. For future reference, some type of advanced search option for the mailing list archives would be great. I tried the old google "error" "site:site.to.search" and it didn't find anything

In response to my original post under the heading "No files seen when mount[ing] DFS roots" I received one offlist response to the following effect: >It sounds like the smbfs Linux filesystem module does not handle MSDFS >links correctly. You might try the CIFS module avaliable at >http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/smbfs/ Before I assume this is the problem, I would

I've set up a dfs share according to instructions. There is one part of the instructions that I don't understand. I've checked the forum archives but can't find any examples which might help. In the Instructions section (4.1 of the HTML Samba Project Documentation), is shows how to set up the symbolic links in a DFS share, as shown below. I have 2 Samba servers (SMB1 and SMB2).

Hello list, I am trying to get a DFS share to work here, linking to a few Windows 2000, XP and NT machines. Using Samba 3.0.6 on Debian. I followed the instructions in chapter 17 of the official HOWTO collections and set it up like this: [global] ... netbios name = fileserver host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /home/data/shares/postdfs valid users = @post force group = +post read only = No force

I'm having issues enabling VFS full_audit & msdfs. It works great on my non-root DFS servers. On my DFS root server, enabled full_audit will break DFS links. If found some reports of this from searching, but the users appear to have resolved the issue from upgrading (to older versions that I am using). I'm running Samba 3.6.9-167 on CentOS 6. Here is an except from the samba server,

I have setup samba with msdfs, and configured it. The problem is that it works with some windows 2000 workstations, but not with others, even if they are at the same service pak levels. I.e, I have workstation a and workstation b, both running 2000. On workstation a, I can map the dfs share to a drive, and be able to access everything in that share (which is different shares on different

Hi We setup a samba server (3.02a ) under Debian, acting as PDC. Clients are w98 S.E. and XP sp1. Server name is box-p In smb.conf we configure: [clouds] ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes We create dfs links in home directory of users : ln -s msdfs:box-p\\clouds shared When users log into PDC using an win98 machine they find "shared" in his home, and can access it. When users log

I've been reading through a lot of documentation and haven't found the answer to this question. I'd like to setup a DFS Root on a Win2K3 server with some Samba server shares participating as replica links. Is this possible? I've got the shares setup on the Samba servers and have no trouble accessing them from windows computers. I tried to setup the links on the Win2k3 server, but

Hi, I'm new on Samba... I'm trying to set a samba server with a DFS share. I have found this example: # The smb.conf file: [global] netbios name = SAMBA host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /export/dfsroot msdfs root = yes then I must create some link into /export/dfsroot: root# cd /export/dfsroot root# chown root /export/dfsroot root# chmod 755 /export/dfsroot root# ln -s

hi, on a samba domain member file server i'm using dfs root shares with multiple msdfs symlinks pointing to other shares (on the same server), which works fine. These linked shares have different access rights, therefore a user might have access to one linked share but not to another. Is there any option to hide msdfs-symlinks to shares that a user cannot read? (the same as 'hide

Hi, - Server : Ubuntu server 11.04 - Samba 3.5.8 - (Likewise 6.0.0-2 if that can make sense... ? - Anyway : working fine; A.D. integration OK) - Client : windows XP SP3 When trying to use this brand new server as a DFS root, I'm facing an issue I can't solve: - Pointing to \\servername\dfsroot\linktootherserver I'm getting the error message "share refers to a location that is

Hello, Last week I submitted a problem with msdfs on samba. I didn't receive any reaction. I've also tried the samba-cvs version but this has also problems. We really like to use msdfs from samba, because we want to put all our homedirectories ( more than 4000 ) in one dfsroot. This is not possible with Microsoft's dfs because this has a limit of 1000 .... I didn't found this

Hello, I am running the following OS CentOS 5.2 Samba Release samba-3.0.28 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22 (latest from CentOS) I also tried compiling a custom kernel with the experimental MSDFS option in kernel version 2.6.28.7 to no avail. Microsoft Server OS Windows Server 2003 R2 My Samba server has winbind enabled and the following smb.conf configuration. [global] socket options =

This was working a couple of weeks ago, but it's broken now. When I issue a command like 'mount -t smbfs //server/share /mount/point' I get an error that says " mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //mrbig/grego$, or too many mounted file systems " However, when I issue the command 'smbmount //server/share /mount/point/ it works just fine.

Hi, Need some pointers. Currently using mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Since I can only mount as root, (not in /etc/fstab) sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Problem here is.. I can't get group or world writeable permission on the share. It's a NTFS share but that is not a problem. I can

Hi, I was trying smbmount (SuSE's samba-client-3.0.20b-3.4). The mount command replied: cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 9451: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed No I'd suggest to change the message at least: It's unclear who "we" is: The Samba Team, the client, or the server The server is a "Windows 2003 server",

SME Server 6.0.1 as standalone (Domain controler, mail & file server) samba version 2.2.8a I have a win95 machine on my network logged onto the domain with it's d drive shared with full access and no password. On server-manager I have setup a hostname for this machine based on mac address so that the DHCP server gives it the same IP every time. I have created a directory /mnt/win I can

Why is that when you create a share, the default is 'msdfs root = yes'? Also, why is that a share that is set 'msdfs root = yes' -- or, rather, a share that does /not/ set 'msdfs root = no' -- advertises that it is a DFS root to the Linux CIFS client, /even /when 'host msdfs = no'? This sounds like A) a bug (ignoring 'host msdfs', and B) a misfeature (msdfs
