[Bug 738968] Re: Can't See Parts of DFS CIFS Share

[Larry Reid]

Is it a regression ?
Did this use to work properly with a previous release ?

    Not as far as I know.

What version of samba packages are used ?
Please give the output of:

dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Version} ${Source} ${Status}\n' | grep
samba

libsmbclient 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed
libwbclient0 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed
samba-common 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed
samba-common-bin 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed
smbclient 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed
smbfs 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed
winbind 2:3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.5 samba install ok installed

How is the remote share accessed from the Ubuntu system?
nautilus (or other GUI client) YES
smbclient (from the command line) YES
cifs filesystem mount (from /etc/fstab or a mount command) YES
If nautilus (or another GUI client) is used to access the remote share, can the share be accessed with the smbclient command line utility ? NO

To test:

install the samba-client package
try to connect to the remote system from the command line:

smbclient //remote_system/share_name

    Connection works, but crossing to another server through DFS doesn't

If the share requires a specific username/password, try using the "-U"
parameter (for example, use "-U ntdomain\\user").

smbclient doesn't work either. I have tried all combinations of ways to
authenticate. With -d 10 I'm seeing messages that make me reasonably
confident it's not an authentication problem (but it could be, I
suppose).

If a cifs mount is used
In that case please also provide:

the content of the file /etc/fstab, or the command line used to mount
the remote share if the share is manually mounted.

    sudo mount -t cifs --verbose -o user=my-domain/my-username //my-
server/my-share /mnt

    mount works. Nautilus, gvfs-mount and smbclient don't.

the content of the file /proc/fs/cifs/DebugData

What is the remote server ?
In all cases, please include the output of the following smbclient command:


smbclient -L //remote_system
This should give us the remote server version. Also include on what kind of machine the share is located (Windows 2003 Server, Ubuntu 8.04, NAS box model...)

    It's an EMC Celerra NAS NSG-8 with NAS version 5.6.50

    I can't get the command output right now because the VPN is down.
(Problem occurs with or without VPN.)
