Hello! I am attempting to use Samba to increase performance over a PtP VPN connection. The current scenario is a main branch, with a satellite branch that is connected via a VPN (1.5Mbps max connection speed). I have all users joined to a domain, but the DC is over at the main branch. To better serve the needs of the users, offline files and file/folder redirection has been implemented to make

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, First, I will try to make my terminology clear: There are two "things" MS calls DFS: 1. Server/share DFS - in this case you can define a "virtual server/share" that when a client tries to connect to, the server will direct it to another, real, server/share to which the client should connect. The virtual server/share may contain one or more real server/share

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

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. Looking at the logs reveals: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [2005/04/20

Hi All , I am trying to navigate the DFS links, but getting the following error. cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. protocol negotiation failed Couldn't resolve \sal1 where sal1 is the DFS link created under STAND ALONE ROOT. Could any one of you please help me to get rid of this error ? Thanks and Regards, -Avinash

> Which smb version are you using (mount option)? Support for DFS on smb2+ > was only added in linux 4.11. smbstatus shows the connection as NT1. DFS links do work like this: serverA_msdfsrootYES => serverB_msdfsrootNO But not like this: serverA_msdfsrootYES => serverB_msdfsrootYES Somehow the destination having 'msdfsroot yes' prevents the cifs kernel module from

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

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:

Hi there We have a world-wide WAN network that we are running rsync over. It all works - but the throughput of any one rsync connection is limited by the latency on our inter-continental links. e.g a site may have a 4Mbs link, but a single rsync job can only get 1.5Mbs of the bandwidth. Running 3-5 rsync jobs in parallel gets around that limit and obviously allows us to saturate a particular

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

Hi list, I can successfully build the driver modules; hdlc, dlci, syncppp, and lmc from the 2.6.18-128.1.14 kernel source rpm, and have managed to create a 'wan kmod' rpm. It all works fine for IPv4, but now I need IPv6 for ppp connections, which doesn't work for me. I think I'll need to back port Krzysztof Halasa's 'ppp for generic hdlc' patches to the

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
