[Samba] domain-based DFS ?

[Daniel Müller]

side copy !?

Sorry that I wasn't clearer about that.

@L.P.H van Belle:
I'm aware of that 'host msdfs = Yes' is amongst the hidden settings in
global section. But to host DFS it simply didn't work until I made it
explicit.

I have two more share definitions on my AD DC, both running on RAID5, LVM
and ext4 on top. In spite of that 'vfs object = dfs_samba4 acl_xattr' is
defined in the global section as a hidden setting, I could not manipulate
ACLs on these share. Not until I added 'vfs object = acl_xattr' to the share
definitions. I have not tested using a share on the same disk/volume that
Samba is installed on.

My experience is that the settings in smb.conf work great until you add
another share with vfs objects. They are not nullified, but rather seem to
not extend beyond the shares defined during provision. To activate it you
have to explicity define them in the global section.

And that is a call for following Sambas recommendation to separate the DC
functionalty from file server functionality.
