similar to: Unable to follow dfs referral - still a problem for smbclient & also freebsd smbfs

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).

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

Please help me understand why I am unable to connect to and browse the newly configured DFS tree that I installed on my Samba server according to the instructions found in Chapter 18. "Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree" of the official how-to. Irrespective of whether I try to access the dfs file tree from either the local file browser (and choosing the SMB tree) or from

Hi, i have a smba 3 working, and I? m trying to build dfs .When I set up my dfs this way: ln ?s msdfs:serverA\\shareA name, or ln-s msdfs:serverA\\shareB, it is working! But if I try ln-s msdfs:serverA\\shareA,serverA\\shareB name, I only can get the first share (shareA) in the network. Have someone did it and how can I succeed ? Daniel

Hello all, I have samba 3 with a share named shareA using these settings: [shareA] comment = Directory Amministrazione path = /col/shareA browseable = no valid users = @amm force group = amm public = no writable = yes create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 printable = no where user1, user2, user3 and user4 belong to "amm" group.

Hi, I am testing share parameters, and have the following share definition: ## Section - [shareA] [shareA] path = /tmp/shareA writelist = user1 and do not understand why user1 cannot write files in the share when connected as user1. Unix permissions for the share files are rw for everyone, and the share directory has wide-open permissions. Samba version is 3.0.20b-3.4-SUSE.

Hi, I have encountered some strange behaviour after upgrading to 3.0.12 on FreeBSD 4.10 file servers. Normally when users on windows apps use the file browser to select a file it remembers the selected directory between invocations, so that, for example, they can easily read in multiple files from the same directory, or if they click on Save As... it takes them to the directory where they

Hello, I just went to migrate my fileserver from samba3 to samba4 but i have problem with the administrator account.

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

Is there a trick to being able to access shares via \\domain\dfsroot\.. rather than \\computer\dfsroot\... ? Only the latter works for me - samba 3.0.22

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

I've been testing DFS roots and I'm finding that while Vista and 2008 Server clients can connect with no problems, Windows XP Pro and 2003 Server clients fail. This seems like it's the wrong way round - Samba usually has more difficulties with recent Windows versions than older ones - but I can only assume that there's some registry/policy change between the versions. If anybody

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?!)

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'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

Oh thank you Just to be sure to understand : -getent passwd | grep administrator and id administrator didn't work on Fileserver because administrator account didn't have uidNumber -it also why administrator account can't manage filserver with windows permissions Just one more thing please : Why my administrators group is mapped on unix users ? [root#fileserver ~]# net groupmap
