Figure 1 gives us a picture of our test environment. Figure 1: MS DFS Test Environment Server:rkm-nt Server:ceres Dfsroot linka linkb Client:mccallevo Shared_stuff Server:mccall Shared_stuff Configuration details There are three steps to configuring MS DFS on an HP CIFS Server. Two modifications to the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file and the actual creation of the MS DFS links in the HP-UX file system directory that is hosting the MS DFS root. Notice that ALL of the modifications are done on the HP CIFS Server - the windows servers that contain the actual shares being linked to require no special attention. Modifying the smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = DON1 NetBIOS name = RKM-NT server string = Samba Server security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes
