for token junction points in the Dfs. If not, create these mount points as subdirectories of the service directory. (This used to be commit 3b79df24687afce4780884b7a784661f69752fe1)
Setting up MS Dfs in Samba kalele@veritas.com March 2000 Currently, MS Dfs support is a configure time parameter (--with-msdfs). Can be changed later to always compile it in.. To have a server announce itself as a Dfs server, add a "host msdfs=yes" entry to smb.conf. To make a share a Dfs root, add a "dfs map" entry to the share definition in the smb.conf file. e.g. [pub] dfs map = /usr/local/samba/lib/pub_dfs_map The pub_dfs_map file would contain a list of junction points and their referral paths. In our example, if you have a directory pub_dir1/ in the pub share and want to make it a dfs junction point to \\machineX\pub, you can have an entry in the pub_dfs_map file as: pub_dir1 \\machineX\pub:0:600 where: 0 is the proximity of the server. If you have multiple referred servers for one junction point, you can set up preferences among these using this field. & 600 is the number of seconds the client must cache the referral. After this time period, the smb client supposedly should contact the server again for a fresh referral. NOTE: You can have multiple referral paths for one junction point. Currently, the parser code depends on the leading \ to determine if the line is a referral or a new junction point. Shares with no "dfs map" entries are served as normal shares and the client stops talking Dfs with Samba after a tconX. TODO: Dynamically showing junction points to dfs clients alone,probably in the findfirst reply. Currently, you need to have directories on the samba server as token junction points.
