Comment 87 for bug 286828

i found that when i used the "msdfs root = no" option on my samba 3.0.24 server running debian etch, it caused my windows clients that have shares mapped to network drives to stop working and i couldn't access them by \\<server>\<share>. in order to get it working on my windows xp computers, i had to restart them and remount the network drives for it to work but it indeed does work. i know that this really isn't the intended purpose of this bug report, but at first i thought that including "msdfs root = no" broke my shares on my windows boxes.

thank you for this workaround as i do not plan on upgrading from the standard debian etch on my server anytime in the near future.
