Why is that when you create a share, the default is 'msdfs root = yes'?
Also, why is that a share that is set 'msdfs root = yes' -- or, rather,
a share that does /not/ set 'msdfs root = no' -- advertises that it is a
DFS root to the Linux CIFS client, /even /when 'host msdfs = no'? This
sounds like A) a bug (ignoring 'host msdfs', and B) a misfeature (msdfs
root should probably /not/ default to yes).
The default for 'msdfs root' was changed to 'no' in, I believe, samba
3.0.25. If you're using a version earlier than that, I suggest putting
'msdfs root = no' in the global section of smb.conf. That seems to
disable it for all shares.
I ran into similar issues with this problem and the [homes] share, ah la
samba bug 4398. Be aware that you generally have to reboot the _client_
machine(s) in order for changes to the 'msdfs root' parameter to be
recognized.
