[Samba] msdfs problems

[Shirish Kalele]

Could you send me a level 10 log containing only the following operations:
1. map \\dfsservername\dfs from workstation B
2. attempt to 'cd' to folder1 under the mapped drive.

Steps 1 and 2 from workstation A.

Could you also send me your smb.conf file.

Thanks,
Shirish
