Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.6 (on IRIX 6.5). This is just a 'let you know what I've discovered' message really. I've just installed upgrade a laptop here to SP2 of Windows XP. It then started failing to make network connections. After much fiddling about, I tracked it down to DFS shares. This PC can now connect to the DFS root OKay, but doesn't recognise the entries

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

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

I have been looking into DFS (no R) with Samba and found the page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS) and do have some questions: ?There is currently (July 2014) a discussion in the mailing list in which several users report great difficulties with domain-based DFS in samba 4, maybe related with the implementation of smb protocol version 3.? ? is this still true or has

No, there are 2 ways of configuring it, the wiki has the symlink method, below is the other method. I don't like broken symlinks on my machines, therefore this is what I prefer. > - "vfs objects =

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

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

Hi: I've got a samba/DFS server configured that works fine under it's original name, but I'm getting booted out of that DNS domain, into a subdomain. All my (WinXP) clients have drives mapped to names like \\server.domain.com\dfsroot. If I browse to the path, \\server.domain.com\dfsroot, everything works. I can access the shares pointed to via the dfs links But, now the network is

Hi, I'm trying to create a map of DFS links to actual server/share's. I know that you can get this information by logging on to the DFS root server, but I'm trying to use the libsmbclient API to get this information. I have created a fairly simple DFS structure on 2003 servers with everything on the same domain. //MyDomain/DFSRoot /Link1 -> //Fileserv-1/FileShare1 /Link2

Hi! My situation is that I configured samba with ldap authentication, I created shares and and after I created standalone dfs for these shares. (Everything is on the same server) I have a client debian with gnome and ldap authentication, so I can login on this machine with ldap users. My problem is, if I try to access dfs share with nautilus with the same user, with which I logged on the machine,

Trying out the new DFS support in samba 2.2 i can't seem to get it to work. All the docs mention that a configure parameter is needed to build in dfs support. Do the binary rpms on the samba site have dfs support built in? I notice that if i give a bogus option in the smb.conf file it will complain about it in log.smb, would it complain about the dfs options if samba was built without dfs

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

Hi Kees, Thanks once more. To be precise: - you are running this on DCs? - no links required as on the wiki page? - "vfs objects = dfs_samba4, acl_xattr, full_audit" - I don?t have that in my smb.conf. What part(s) of this are default, required, or special? Thanks, Joachim -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba <samba-bounces at lists.samba.org> Im Auftrag von Kees van

I'm trying to create a DFS root in my 2003 AD domain, and point it to a share hosted on a Samba server. From the documentation, I had assumed that this was supported (msdfs host = yes ?). Am I missing something basic? This is with Samba 3.0.31 on RHEL 5. When I go to create the DFS root (via the msc plugin) and instruct it to use my samba machine as the host, I get this error: "The

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
