I've been trying to get samba working as a msdfs root server, but was having a problem where the client did not recognize the server as a Dfs root.
After twiddling with the configuration for a while, I narrowed it down to the "restrict anonymous" configuration setting. When that option was set to 2, the client did not recognize the server as a msdfs root. When either left at the default, or configured to 1, the client did recognize the server as a Dfs root and worked fine. While researching potential causes of my problem, I didn't find any material regarding the restrict anonymous settings possibly causing Dfs problems. The documentation indicated that setting restrict anonymous = 2 might break some third-party applications, but perhaps it would be good to explicitly indicate in the smb.conf man page that it also breaks Dfs? -- Paul B.
