Hi,
I've been trying since the past hours to configure MSDFS using 2.2.4,
compiled with --with-msdfs under Solaris but I can't get it to work :(
Here's what I've done, in the smb.conf file, I added the following:
[global]
...
host msdfs = yes
...
[dfs]
path = /export/dfsroot
msdfs root = yes
In the /export/dfsroot I've created all of the following symlinks,
there's many cuz nothing was working so I've created all the one
ntdb1 -> msdfs:smbhost.net.private.com\ntdb
ntdb2 -> msdfs:smbhost.net.private.com\\ntdb
ntdb3 -> msdfs:smbhost\\ntdb
ntdb4 -> msdfs:smbhost\ntdb
I added "netbios name = smbhost" on the remote server.
>From my Windows NT4 SP6A client, when I browse the DFS share and
click on any of the "ntdb?" directory, it just cd into the directory
and nothing else happens. I don't see the files I should see... it
doesn't seem to "redirect" the connection on server "smbhost".
Does the "smbhost" in the symlink need to be a netbios name or
can it be a fully qualified hostname, like smbhost.net.private.com ?
Does the symlink final "name" need to be "msdfs:smbhost\\ntdb" or
"msdfs:smbhost\ntdb" ?
I've rebooted my Windows NT4 SP6A client, I've restarted Samba and
the DFS share doesn't seem to work. Any clue?
Thank you,
Pierre B.
