Comment 58 for bug 286828

mipper:
This is a bug about servers claiming they support something that they don't. If client stuff makes use of that "something" and trust servers to properly implement what they claim they do, it doesn't work. It happens that the client stuff in Intrepid takes advantage of those advanced features, while the client stuff in hardy didn't.

The fix:
Fix your server by upgrading to a non-affected version.

However, we understand that the server might not be easily upgradable. For example it might be a closed NAS box with a sucky warranty. For those few stuck with buggy servers, we provide the following workarounds:

- If you have access to the samba configuration on the server, you can add "msdfs root = no" in smb.conf
- If you have no access whatsoever to the server, a new kernel providing a "nodfs" client-side mount option is being published. You will be able to use that option to turn off the advanced features in the client stuff for Intrepid.
