Can't get dfs to work.

[Shirish Kalele]

Hi,

First, this is a question for the samba mailing list, not the
samba-technical list. So, I'm moving it there.

Did you compile samba --with-msdfs?

Your description is inconsistent. You mention \\system1\dfs and
\\system1\pblc both of which are invalid shares. From your description, I
understand \\icadfs\dfs is your dfs root and \\system1\public and
\\system1\test are your dfs linked shares.

Can you access \\system1\public and \\system1\test directly without going
through \\icadfs\dfs?
Is your username and password the same when accessing \\icadfs and
\\system1?
