Hello folks, we have a samba 3.0.22 running and it serves our windows and linux clients with shares for home and group directories.
The group share is set up with a preexec script to check the groups of the connecting user and create symlinks to the corresponding directories on the file server. The script looks something like that: #!/bin/bash # some things here # $1 is the connecting user for i in $(groups $1) do ln -s "/data/groups/$i" . done Idea stolen from "Samba 3 für Unix/Linux-Administratoren" by V. Lendecke et al. Now up to my problem: Unix extensions are turned on for our linux clients and I use mount.cifs to get the home directories. That's all ok. To mount the group shares I use mount.smbfs, because mount.cifs only displays the (then dangling) links. So I heard that smbfs is going to vanish from the kernel and my question is, if there is any possibility to get mount.cifs behave like a windows client, which dereferences the links? Any help welcome. :) Greets, Jens.
