Hi,

I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate
symlink to remote share name.
All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible.

My config is:
---
[global]
    debuglevel = 10
    netbios name = SAMBAII
    workgroup = XAMBA
    security = user
    domain logons = yes
    preferred master = yes
    domain master = yes
    local master = yes
    os level = 33
    encrypt passwords = yes
    passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap.setuza.cz"
## ldap sam
...
## dfs
    host msdfs = yes
...
## misc
    follow symlinks = yes
...
## shares
    writeable = no
    create mask = 660
    directory mask = 770
...
[dfs]
    path = /var/samba/dfsroot
    msdfs root = yes
    follow symlinks = no
[test]
...
---

My dfs root is:
root at sambaii:/# ls -ld /var/samba /var/samba/dfsroot
drwxrwx---    7 9999     Domain U     4096 Mar  4 19:07 /var/samba/
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     Domain U     4096 Mar  5 17:17 /var/samba/dfsroot/
root at sambaii:/# ls -l /var/samba/dfsroot
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Mar  5 17:17 inoupd ->
msdfs:rumba\\inoupdate
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 Mar  5 17:01 lavir ->
msdfs:prog23t\\lv
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Mar  4 19:20 pokus ->
msdfs:prog01t\\share

In logfile I found target name only in this line:
...
