[Fwd: [jcifs] DFS with jCIFS 1.2.3 and w2k3 sp1]

[Thomas Bley]

Hi, another thing I've noticed, I use this:

         SmbFile f = new SmbFile( 
"smb://administrator:admin@192.168.0.5/MyRoot/testlink/" );
         System.out.println( f.getDfsPath() );
         SmbFile[] fs = f.listFiles();
         for (int i=0;i<fs.length;i++) {
         	System.out.println(fs[i].getName());
         }

where "testlink" is a dfslink. It's strange that I get the right 
contents with listFiles, is this a feature of w2k3 or does jCIFS 
automatically connect to the linked-share ?
Do I need the dfsreferral things ?

Thanks and Bye,
Tom

Hi Mike,

I digged a bit deeper into DFS.

First I tried:
(192.168.0.5 is w2k3-server sp1 and "testlink" links to smb://testw2k3/temp)

SmbFile f = new SmbFile(
"smb://administrator:admin@192.168.0.5/MyRoot/testlink/" );
System.out.println( f.getDfsPath() );

This gave me:
jcifs.smb.SmbException: testw2k3
java.net.UnknownHostException: testw2k3
	at jcifs.UniAddress.getByName(UniAddress.java:297)
	at jcifs.UniAddress.getByName(UniAddress.java:201)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.send(SmbFile.java:672)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.queryPath(SmbFile.java:1200)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.exists(SmbFile.java:1256)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.getDfsPath(SmbFile.java:1379)
	at GetDfsPath.main(GetDfsPath.java:8)

	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.send(SmbFile.java:674)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.queryPath(SmbFile.java:1200)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.exists(SmbFile.java:1256)
	at jcifs.smb.SmbFile.getDfsPath(SmbFile.java:1379)
	at GetDfsPath.main(GetDfsPath.java:8)
Exception in thread "main"


Then I put the hostname "testw2k3" into the lookup-file
winnt/system32/drivers/hosts:
e.g. "192.168.0.5	testw2k3"

Then it gave me (no exception):
smb://testw2k3/temp

seems like there is a lookup for "testw2k3" going on ?

When I set the dfslink to "smb://192.168.0.5/temp" there is no lookup.

bye
Tom
