Hello Johan, I'm having the same problems with DFS and WinXP clients since I upgraded to 2.2.8. I tried to clear the cache on the client side with dfsutil.exe that comes with the Win2000 SP2 but to no avail. Can anyone else confirm this problem? It's also strange that on the WinXP clients the version of the samba server is still registered as a previous version (2.2.6 or 2.2.7).

Hi, After upgrading Samba to version 3.0.13, we had the following problem wit our DFS root share: From WinXP SP2 clients, we were unable to open *.exe en *.htm(l) files by browsing through our DFS tree. We had no problems with *.doc and *.xls files. Error messages: "cannot find file ..." for htm files "cannot get acces to the device, path or file..." for .exe files. Files

Hi, Thought I posted this already two weeks ago. Haven't seen any reactions yet, so I post it again We got the following problem here: Every now and then, users are unable to save Word or Excel documents on our Samba server. We already tried a couple of things: disabling oplocks, increasing oplock break wait time, putting the documents on a new share, ... but to no success so far. The

Hi all, Having just upgraded our IRIX 6.5 servers from 2.2.5 to 2.2.8a, we're now having trouble with the DFS shares that it serves to our site. Browsing (from 'Start|Run' \\servername) shows the folders we've set up. Double clicking on these allows us to go into them and see the DFS pointers. Double clicking on these produces:- \\net\user\homes refers to a location that is

Hi, We've noticed the following problem: Samba server: RedHat 7.3 Linux version 2.4.18-3 (bhcompile@daffy.perf.redhat.com) (gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)) Samba 2.2.8a 1 user defined 1 share defined (it's a test-setup, server is a Dell ProLiant 2600 and isn't used for anything else) Client PC: Windows XP/Office97 and Windows2000/Office97 IF uid or gid

Hi, i have problems connecting to DFS-Share from Client WindowsXP. Same configuration works fine for Windows Vista and 7.

hello a quick question: is the smbclient program a dfs-aware client? can it access dfs points on a microsoft dfs server? kind regards werner Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm

hello configuration: windows XP client linux/samba dfs link to a share on a Netapp box. from the XP client you can't see the tab "Previous Versions" if you rightclick on a file. You can see this tab if you go directly to the Netapp share or if you use a dfs link on a Windows 2003 Server. Netapp is a Shadow Copy Services Provider but apparently the linux dfs cannot handle this.

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

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask this one. I've got a FreeBSD 6.2 machine acting as an nfs server. It's exporting a home directory to several machines. On the server that home directory has a symlink in it to another directory on the filesystem. As long as users are on the server they can view the directory symlinked to, but if viewing through samba, they're

Hi, WOW, this was posted over a year ago! A response now. The problem still exists. As reconfirmed in a post i read not to long ago (within the last 2 weeks?). HP jetdirect cards can only do one thing at a time. (HP has been writing Jetdirect firmware for 5 years, PLEASE HP you _MUST_ have the ability to fix it?! Or don't you??) This can be confirmed if you have an NT only shop. In the

Hello, I have a Samba DFS server set up (self compiled, running version 2.2.5) on a RedHat 7.3 box and I'm having a strange problem with my Windows 2000 clients. The problem occurs when we try to email a link to a file on the Samba server to another user. It happens with various types of files, but as an example, let's say I email a link to an Excel document to another user:

All, I down loaded the rpm file from the samba.org ftp site. When I added the DFS entries into the smb.conf I get the following error. [root@phoenix /]# smbclient //phoenix/dfs INFO: Debug class all level = 4 (pid 29288 from pid 29288) Unknown parameter encountered: "host msdfs" Ignoring unknown parameter "host msdfs" added interface ip=172.31.112.90 bcast=172.31.112.255

I've translated a Windows based DFS tree to a Samba based (3.0.23c) one and it seems to work quite well from Windows Explorer and cmd.exe. First off, I have a relatively big tree. grep dfscmd /root/dfs.cmd | wc -l 1614 One issue I've noticed that tree enumeration and manipulation from a Windows machine to a Samba based DFS root just doesn't work at all. For instance dfscmd.exe

Trying to add users using security tab i WinXP doesn't work for us, no users are added. Existing ACLs are possible to change and delete. This behavior has been identified with both Solaris 2.6, Linux 2.4.9-31 with XFS, Samba 2.2.5 and 2.2.8. I'm attaching global part of out smb.conf and a snippet from the log. Our users are in an NT domain and in NIS. Regards, Johannes smb.conf:

Hi: I'm trying to create a group of samba/NFS servers. The NIS/NFS/Automount part has always worked fine. Now I'm trying to duplicate what automount does w/ DFS. A single DFS server would be a single point of failure. I need redundant DFS. I've configured a pair of samba servers, w/ DFS on each one. Each machine has a few non-dfs shares referred to by dfs links. I've

Dear R-mixed-effects-modelers, I could not answer this questions with the book by Pinheiro & Bates and did not find anything appropriate in the archives, either ... We are preparing a short lecture on degrees of freedom and would like to show lme's as an example as we often need to work with these. I have a problem in understanding how many dfs are needed if random terms are used for
