cifs 9000

[R. Coehorst]

I wanted to set up the cifs9000 to display 2 shares.

Therefor i use the following config:

smb.conf
------------------
[global]
netbios name = server1
netbios aliases = server2
server string = Samba server on (%L)
workgroup = mygroup

include = /usr/local/etc/smb.%L
------------------

smb.server1
------------------
[server1]
path = /usr1/server1
comment = "new server1 share"

------------------

smb.server2
------------------
[server2]
path = /usr1/server2
comment = "new server2 share"


----------
The 2 shares are visible as two 'workstation' in the windows explorer. But when i click on the workstations, all i get is map called printers.

what's going wrong?

some suggestions?
Thank you

Lau

thanks for the reply Robert-Jan.

There's a lot of info there but it's all regarding the normal set-up.

I've done the normal setup of cifs and that's working great. The problem is that i want 2 shares that represent my old environment so that my users can use there old links (from within documents, favorites, etc). The direcotries /usr1/server1 and /usr1/server2 contain the data previously stored on those two fileservers.
Cifs should 'emulate' those two servers as if they were actual online.
