samba dfs with hpux 11.11

hi... i'm very desperate... i hope someone can help me...
i was trying the last few days to migrate an samba configuration for a simple dfs from linux redhat 7.3 to hpux 11.11... i thaught i would be no problem, but every time when i'm trying to access one of my dfs shares a "folder moved or removed" error occure... i'm using the samba 2.2.5 binaries (for hpux) with the --with-msdfs compiler flag from the samba homepage...

[global]
workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
host msdfs = yes

[is]
comment = DFS Share IS
path = /mypath/abt/is
broseable = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0750
msdfs root = yes

i created the dfs links in the /mypath/abt/is folder with the following commands:

ln -s msdfs:srv26\cdroms cdsrv
ln -s msdfs:srv02\cdroms cdsrv2

(i???m trying to mount my two cdrom-servers into the ???is??? share)

this links and the folder are owned by the user root and the group root and the permissions are 777 (for test purpose)???

i hope someone have an idea whats wrong with this configuration. perhaps hpux needs some special attribute in smb.conf... i don???t know

sincerely yours

I just set up DFS on 2.2.3a (the HP CIFS/9000 depot), no problems...

You should however make sure your clients are able to resolve (and ping) \\srv26 and \\srv02, as msdfs only sends some kind of redirect to the client. The client then tries to connect to these servers.
