Has anyone had it work?
It's in the changelog but it doesn't work for me.
I have specified host msdfs = yes in my [global] section and msdfs
root
= yes in one of my shares.
In that share i have tried creating a symlink as specified in the
documentation, but have also tried several other smb syntaxes.
[root at ou119028 dfs]# ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 27 17:06 five ->
msdfs:ou119028/digitalNoise
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 27 17:06 four ->
msdfs:\\ou119028\digitalNoise
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15 Apr 27 17:05 readme.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Apr 27 17:06 six ->
msdfs://ou119028/digitalNoise
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 27 17:03 three ->
msdfs:ou119028\digitalNoise
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Apr 27 16:50 two ->
msdfs:horoko\YetMoreNoise
My test client can only read the readme.txt file and does not see
anything else in the share.
My test client (win95 with dfs service driver) can navigate DFS shares
on an NT4 server.
