Anyone got DFS samba shares working in Konqueror (SMB kio)? I can smbclient to one of our DFS shares on the company server but not smb:// from Konq?

If you're in a domain situation, and the computer isn't a member (like my laptops), then you'll need the following
smb://domain\user@server/share
For example, to connect to a share at my work, I have the following bookmark: smb://vims\e51541@svote/xUtility
Don't forget to put the slash thingys in the right direction. :)
Did that, now it asks for a password, I supply, but still fails. When I connect to a "normal" (non-DFS) smb share on the same server it works.
Ouch! My bad! I didn't catch the DFS reference. Until your current email, I hadn't heard of DFS. I wonder if somehow they broke the CIFS/SMB specification when implementing DFS (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/technologies/storage/dfs/default....) in Windows Workstation 2003. I know I just had 18 quad-processor Win2K3 workstations installed for a project I'm working on. I'll see if any are using DFS and attempt to connect. Accoring to this ( http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2002/12/05/samba.html ) link: "Want to use Microsoft's Distributed File System (Dfs)? Samba 2.2 makes it amazingly simple. Add a [Dfs] section to your Samba configuration file, create a directory for the [Dfs] share, and then create symbolic links for each Dfs junction." I'm not sure what all that means. I think I know what a symbolic link is, one of my Linux gurus at my last job would set them up for me. Also not sure what a "junction" refers to. Some quick google searching shows me there may be issues with DFS when using a domain model (I assume AD works) and also with sub-folder (Excuse me - directories) under DFS shares. HTH! Good luck. I'll be researching this as well. -- Kai Ponte www.perfectreign.com || www.4thedadz.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request
