Hi,

It's looking to me like the error in the title is the main thing preventing
logging into a share via ADS/winbind &c. I see an old note here for someone
seeing the same in his error logs:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba...ay/053388.html

Ah - this explains a lot. The default for the "msdfs root"
parameter changed between 3.0.24 from True to False.

Has this client been restarted since the new Samba
load was added and restarted ?

If not - try rebooting the client. The clients remember
if a server was a dfs root and act accordingly until a
restart.

The decision was made to change "msdfs root = no"
due to problems detecting that the initial name given in
a dfs root path belonged to this server (as I recall).

The client for my testing purposes is smbclient on another Linux box. So I'm
doubting that the "reboot Windows" advice is what I'm looking for. So, how
the heck do I get around this error? And wtf does the error even mean?

Thanks,
Whit
