I encountered strange behaviour of "msdfs" when using together with "netbios aliases". E.g I have in smb.conf: [global] netbios name = server netbios aliases = server-oldname .... host msdfs = Yes [share1] path = /var/samba/share1 [share2] msdfs root = Yes msdfs proxy = \penguin\share2 .... From a windows (XP) machine I can now see: \\server\share1 and

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

Hello, i got a msdfs share running and now i want to hide folders from users who got no access to them anyway. For example: List of shares: test1 test2 User sees only: test1 Is something like that possible mit samba itself or does someone know a workaround to get it running like that ? Thanks for any ideas.

Hello, I'm setting up MSDFS feature in samba-2.2.0-alpha3. It works very great! But I'm would wish an extension to the MSDFS functionality: Is it possible to implement a feature, so I could group junction points within directories? E.g.: [pub] path = /export/publicsmb msdfs root = yes PUB | +- dir1 <- directory manually created in /export/publicsmb | | |

Hello, I am running the following OS CentOS 5.2 Samba Release samba-3.0.28 Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.22 (latest from CentOS) I also tried compiling a custom kernel with the experimental MSDFS option in kernel version 2.6.28.7 to no avail. Microsoft Server OS Windows Server 2003 R2 My Samba server has winbind enabled and the following smb.conf configuration. [global] socket options =

Hello, i got some clients (WINDOWS7 and WINDOWS10) to connect to samba shares. OS is openSUSE 12.2; 13.1; 42.1 Samba-Version: 3.6.7; 4.1.22; 4.2.4 smb.conf is shown below. The samba setup is a workgroup setup, the W7-clients are set up to the workgroup 'workgroup'. No further changes are made to the W7-clients. samba setup: groupadd workgroup chgrp -R workgroup /srv/samba chmod -R 770

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, until now the users here did access the samba shares directly via \\server\share. The number of shares is rising and it should now be possible to access shares by the department they belong to. Thus the users need only one drive letter and not many in their windows explorer. To accomplish this I tried the msdfs approach and it's working very nicely. on serverA: share1 ->

I'm dealing with a Linux environment with extensive automounting, that also has DFS configurations for the Windows clients of various CIFS systems. I've got CIFS automounting working for various CIFS servers, which definitely has its uses, but I'd *love* to be able to mount the DIFS published paths for the CIFS shares? Basically, if I have shares called \\example1\share1 and

Hi, is it possible, to use DFS and show the correct values of free space? I set up a DFS-share located on filesystem1 (size 50GB) and linked shares of another server to this share (msdfs:<fs>\share): share1: size 110TB share2: size 50TB share3: size 20TB But connecting to the DFS-share, the disk size of this network drive ist 50GB. Unfortunately files larger than 50GB can not be copied

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 List, I am struggling a little bit with the msdfs proxy parameter. I want the samba server as a kind of a bridge between two networks, that the samba server only shares some of the shares provided by our file server to a second network. I don't want the samba srv to be a gw or give the clients a route to the internal network, because it is a total different user group. I first tried to

When I setup Samba4 I already had a master and slave bind9 server so I copied the relevant dns information to my master server however I don't know how to make my existing server authoritative for the zone. It will send notifies to the slave and allow ddns updates but the slave shows this error: "slave-server named[1187]: client 1.1.1.1#22792: received notify for zone

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

I tryed to use msdfs, but it doesn't work. Is it my fault, or is it a bug? log.snmd: smbd/msdfs.c:295(create_conn_struct) create_conn_struct: Can't ChDir to new conn path /mypath/host/%u. Error was No such file or directory Part of smb.conf: [global] ... host msdfs = yes ... [eb] path = /mypath/data/eb force group =smb valid users = @gruppeeb write list = @gruppeeb browseable = no

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

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

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).
