Description TAKAHASHI Motonobu 2008-12-28 23:58:16 UTC
DFS links are vanished when "vfs object = expand_msdfs" i set.

To reproduce:

(1) set smb.conf like:

[global]
  host msdfs = yes

[dfstop]
  path = /some/where/
  msdfs root = yes

(2) create a DFS link and check to work correctly

(3) added a line to "dfstop" section like:

  vfs object = expand_msdfs

(4) all DFS links under that share is vanished. And logs:

* Windows XP client still can access to the DFS target via full UNC like "\\samba\dfstop\dfstarget", but Vista cannot.
