servers. Very intuitive.
Removed the dfs map parsing code and tdb maintenance code (files
msdfs/parse_dfs_map.c & msdfs/msdfs_tdb.c), dfs map loading and unloading
calls (param/loadparm.c smbd/server.c).
Added code to display msdfs format symlinks as directories in a
transact2_findfirst/findnext. (smbd/trans2.c)
Modified msdfs/msdfs.c to use the msdfs symlinks to
create dfs referrals.
Changed msdfs/README to reflect new operability.

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 "msdfs root=yes" entry to the share definition
|
|
in the smb.conf file.
|
|
e.g.
|
|
[pub]
|
|
path = /export/publicsmb
|
|
msdfs root = yes
|
|
|
|
To create dfs volumes/junctions in the share, create symbolic links of the
|
|
format msdfs:server1\share1,server2\share2 and so on.
|
|
|
|
In the above example, create a dfs volume "dfsstorage" in the [pub] share as:
|
|
cd /export/publicsmb
|
|
ln -s msdfs:serverA\\share dfsstorage
|
|
|
|
Clicking on dfsstorage from a dfs-aware client will show you the contents of
|
|
\\serverA\share
|
|
|
|
Shares with "msdfs root = no" (which is the default) entries are served as normal
|
|
shares and the client stops talking Dfs with Samba after a tconX.
|
|
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
* Windows clients need to be rebooted if a non-dfs root is made a dfs root or
|
|
vice versa. A better option is to introduce a new share and make it the dfs root.
|
|
* Currently there's a restriction that msdfs symlink names should be all
|
|
lowercase.
