Running two Samba servers (configs shown below). Trying to get MSDFS to work but getting only partial success.
Server smb2 is the MSDFS host. It's running Samba 2.2.3a on RedHat 7.1. Samba was compiled on this computer using the --with-msdfs switch. The program "testparm" shows no errors.
Server smb1 has the Public share that I want to be seen on smb2. It's running Samba 2.2.1a on RedHat 7.1. Again, "testparm" shows no errors. It's Public share has the directory structure shown below (as seen by Microsoft Windows Explorer).
Public
|
|--ISCOMM
|
|--PAO
I stopped Samba on smb2, went to /usr/local/UDrive and issued the following command:
ln -s msdfs:smb1\\Public others
and then restarted Samba.
After the above, when I look at the share on smb2 in Network Neighborhood (on a Win93SE PC and on a Win2K Pro PC), I see the "others" folder, but can't see the ISCOMM and PAO directories below it.
I've been over and over the documentation (titled: "Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree on Samba") and I'm stumped as to what to do next.
In all other respects, 2.2.3a is working just fine.
Thanks for any help,
