How to mount DFS filesystem

[Andre Chiode]

Good afternoon,

We have some desktops using Ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04 on a Windows network, these
desktops are authenticating in Active Directory  with LDAP and Kerberos.
This has several network shares using DFS (Distributed File System). From
the desktop when we try to connect to DFS server something weird happens, it
shows the remote directory as existing but enter into the loop, not allowing
access to any shared file .

Below is the sequence of commands executed in the console:

1. # mount -o username=xpto //Server/xxx /mnt/server

2. # cd /mnt/server

3. # pwd
/mnt/server/

4. # ls
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep  2 12:08 ADM

5. # cd ADM

6. # pwd
/mnt/server/ADM

7. # ls
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep  2 12:08 ADM

8. # cd ADM

9. # pwd
/mnt/server/ADM/ADM

10. # ls
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep  2 12:08 ADM

11. # cd ADM

12. # pwd
/mnt/server/ADM/ADM/ADM

13. # ls
ls: reading directory .: Object is remote

Thanks,
