Hi Luk!

Thanks for your explanation.

Is a sharename containing a '/' what you meant by
<directory>/<sharename> or is it even something else?

Well, it is a Windows share, so I don’t really know how it is configured.
Maybe my explanation is not really correct.

So let me try again:
I have a server (e.g. home.local) with (probably) a share called home containing all user home directories. But a normal user doesn’t have direct access to the home directory, only to his own directory under home. So my service URI would look like //home.local/home/stse.
This didn’t work with cifs-utils > 4.1.

I now tested 4.9 and it works again, so this bug can be closed.


So now I only have two problems left but I don’t know if they are bugs in cifs-utils (tested with 4.9):

- DFS mounts with kernels > 2.6.35 are not working;
- Kerberos and DFS mounts are not working really well together;
- if your DFS name is your domain name (e.g. ads.local) pointing to the two servers dc1.ads.local and dc2.ads.local, trying to do a kerberos mount with //ads.local/ gives the error that there is no cifs ticket for ads.local. Using //dc1.ads.local/ it works. But if you have a share //dc1.ads.local/software where software is a link to //ds.ads.local/software no new kerberos ticket will be requested.
    (At least, so it seems).


Shade and sweet water!
