[Samba] ntvfs handler = cifs, CIFS-Proxy

[Ryan Ashley]

Not trying to jump in here since Rowland is a seasoned Samba vet, but I 
see something that seems silly to me and I need to ask about it. There 
is no path in your share, which is why it is complaining.

[test]
            ntvfs handler = cifs
            cifs:server = 192.168.1.10
            cifs:share = projects$

It expects a line telling the path to the share.

[test]
     path = /home/shared/whatever

I realize you are trying to host a share that may be on another machine 
(192.168.1.10), but I have never seen that done. Would it be possible to 
mount the remote share on that system and use the path to it?

mount -t cifs -o username=user,password=password 
//192.168.1.10/projects$ /media/projects

[test]
     path = /media/projects
     comment = Projects share
     Read Only = No

Something like that I would THINK would work. I am also feverish today 
(flu maybe, yay) and may not be thinking correctly.
