[Samba] preexec and msdfs proxy

Sat May 16 02:15:46 MDT 2015

Hi,

I was wondering if someone had any thoughts as to why "preexec" doesn't fire when "msdfs proxy" is used?

Thank you,
Greg Enlow

Names have been changed to protect the inoccent.

This installation is being used to mitigate a server migration by providing read-only access to the new shares under the old server name.  We have duplicated all the current shares on the new server (NETAPP) as {share name}_ro and created equivalent shares on the SAMBA installation as DFS proxies that point the client to that read-only share.  As a neat bell & whistle we had hoped to be able to let the user know that they were using an obsolete URL (server name) by sending them a message/mail/whack on the head.  At the moment neither the "root preexec" or the plain "preexec" are doing anything, much to our chagrin.
