update:

I found some people with the same problem as me:

Smbclient is not Dfs-aware. This means you can specify \\ntdfs\cs as a share, but when you attempt to drill down past the so-called Dfs "junction points" you will not get anywhere. In the following example this is illustrated. You cannot get to //ntdfs/cs/cse/www using smbclient.


% smbclient //ntdfs/cs

        hello

a quick question: is the smbclient program a dfs-aware client? can it access dfs points on a microsoft dfs server?

kind regards

werner
