similar to: Samba as a DFS Client

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

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 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 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

Hi all, Is 'msdfs root = yes' required in any share (along with 'host msdfs = yes' in global) where you'd like msdfs links to work (redirect the client)? Can more than one server have a share with 'msdfs root = yes'? Or can there be only one root? (Setting 'msdfs root = yes' on shares on more than one server seems to be working at the moment, but

Hallo, I'm using samba 3.0.20b-3.11-SUSE on a SLES-based system. My system has two NICs in this configuration eth0 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:24:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.16.0.2 Bcast:172.16.255.255 Maske:255.255.0.0 eth1 Protokoll:Ethernet Hardware Adresse 00:0A:5E:1B:xx:xx inet Adresse:172.18.160.11 Bcast:172.18.255.255 Maske:255.255.224.0 eth0 points to

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, 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

1. What is the ordering method of a DFS Share with multiple servers (e.g. msdfs:serverB\\share,serverC\\share linkb ; Source: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/msdfs.html)? With a Microsoft DFS i have 3 options regarding the target. (Targets in a client's site are listed first in a referral. Nevertheless i can choose between: Random order, Lowest cost, Exclude targets

Dear All, I had a working solution on a Redhat EL 4 or 5 or something like that (I don't remember exactly). I changed it to CentOS 5, and now the same config is not working on the right way. I see this on a windows map driver (I haven't tried it with linux): W:\Install\Windows\Windows\bla\salala So the first directory on the share get doubled, the real path should be (and was

I just made a DFS link that pointed to another DFS share on a different server... It seems to confuse the Win'XP client a bit, but it can be made to work. That means.... I can build a tree structure w/ DFS. I can arrange all my servers and shares into a hierarchy. It may not be practical, but in theory, This could be used as a hierarchical substitute for the network neighborhood. I could

Was wondering if someone could tell me if this is correct. I want to set up some DFS shares. I have 3 servers with SAMBA/LDAP on them. My first is basically my PDC and the other two are my BDCs. I assume that I will have to set all of this up on each server, so that no matter which server catches the logon, the logon script will get run. Also, if one of the servers was to go down for a

Hi, Samba version 3.0.28 from RPM samba-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 on Scientific Linux 5. Although I'm finding this problem with samba 3.0.33 and a few others I've randomly tried. Full experiment here: http://xweb.geos.ed.ac.uk/~fgibbins/DFS-tests.txt I've got an AD joined samba server which exports a share to an AD joined XP machine, same M$ 2003 AD in both cases. This share is

Hello list I try to setup a DFS root like documented in the Samba HOWTO Collection Chapter 18. (using Samba 3.0.14a btw.) I setup everything as specified there, but when I try to access one of the linked shares from a windows machine, I get a message telling me the location is unavailable.
