[Samba] DFS problems with Win98: LOGS + CONF

[werner maes]

Hello,

Maybe this information will be usefull in tracking down our problem:

[global]
        host msdfs = Yes

[shared-aiv]
        path = /home/samba/dfsroot-aiv
        msdfs root = Yes
        browseable = Yes

On the same server, there are two others shares [pcsupp-aiv] & 
[hardsoft-aiv]
I'll only show the first one (the second is identical).

[pcsupp-aiv]
        path = /home/samba/pcsupp-aiv
        comment = PC Support
        browseable = No
        valid users = @pcsupp-aiv-w, @pcsupp-aiv-r
        writeable = No
        write list = @pcsupp-aiv-w
        force group = +pcsupp-aiv-w
        create mode = 664
        directory mode = 2775
        security mask = 664
        directory security mask = 2775
        force security mode = 664
        force directory security mode = 2775

Under the dfsroot these links are created:

/home/samba/dfsroot-aiv
[root at ls-aiv-03 dfsroot-aiv]# ls -l
total 0
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           28 Jan 30 11:35 hardsoft -> 
msdfs:ls-aiv-03\hardsoft-aiv
lrwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           26 Jan 30 11:34 pcsupport -> 
msdfs:ls-aiv-03\pcsupp-aiv

No problems with Win200, Win98 & Win95: can't see contents of the shares.
Log level = 5
What happens when clicking on the map pcsupport in the share [shared-aiv]:

As you can see, with Win200 you have "setup_dfs_referral" while with 
Win98 you get an "error string and error packet".

We also encounter another error:

[2002/01/30 11:12:59, 5] smbd/uid.c:become_user(201)
  become_user uid=(0,10067) gid=(0,79999999)

\\LS-AIV-03\PCSUPP-AIV\PCSUPPORT\*.* is not a dfs root.

  error packet at smbd/trans2.c(2334) cmd=50 (SMBtrans2) eclass=1 ecode=2

Why the dfs path \\LS-AIV-03\PCSUPP-AIV\PCSUPPORT is used is very 
strange, since we only have the map PCSUPPORT in the share 
\\LS-AIV-03\SHARED-AIV\. Again we see the "error packet".

I hope that this informations helps out in finding out what's going wrong!
