similar to: msdfs links on multiple servers ?

Re-sending with right email... msdfs root is set to "no" by default and is per-share. [myshare] msdfs root = no path = ... Should do the trick. Otherwise if mounting on linux you can also use the 'nodfs' mount option (mount.cifs //host/share/... /mnt/ -o ...,nodfs) to disable DFS resolving and automatic sub-mounting. Chad W Seys <cwseys at

It works great for all clients* except the linux kernel (v4.9) mount, which was what led me astray. Any idea if this works in more recent kernels? If not where do I wish list this. :)

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

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

The main change in this release is to address some regressions that crept in when we switched to a scheme that does not rely on walking /tmp to look for credcaches. We now will use the information from the kernel about the initiating pid, reach into that task's environment and scrape out the $KRB5CCNAME variable. This can be problematic in setuid situations, so we avoid doing that for the

Good. I actually remember fixing something similar now, ha. If you cannot update your kernel I think disabling the unix extension might be a workaround (-o

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, we have two samba servers on two localities with bigger distance between them. On both localities there are organizational staff working. And I am trying to configure homedirectories for all of staff in this way: - all users will have same beginning part of URL path where is their homedir located (i.e. \\files.example.com\loginname) for unification and central acces - but because

Hi, After some experiment with MSDFS on Samba I have seen this problems and I don't know if this are caused by my possible wrong configuration or if are "feature" of MSDFS: -as described into the documentation I compiled a Samba version with --with-msdfs and this smb.conf (server 172.26.11.236). The configuration file is: [Global] host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /mnt/disk

Why is that when you create a share, the default is 'msdfs root = yes'? Also, why is that a share that is set 'msdfs root = yes' -- or, rather, a share that does /not/ set 'msdfs root = no' -- advertises that it is a DFS root to the Linux CIFS client, /even /when 'host msdfs = no'? This sounds like A) a bug (ignoring 'host msdfs', and B) a misfeature (msdfs

Hi I downloaded samba 3.3.12 and installed it in Aix6l with following configuration option: ./configure --without-libaddns --without-libsmbsharemodes --with-acl-support --without-ldap --without-utmp --with-libiconv=/usr --with-winbind.
