Test works fine with samba-4.17 --- Additional comment from Pavel Filipensky on 2023-06-12 09:33:40 UTC --- The reason is in a new samba code in samba-4.18. rpcclient dfsgetinfo no longer supports double backslash in path: rpcclient localhost -U% -c 'dfsgetinfo \\localhost\samba-share\pointA localhost pointA'' and works only with a single backslash. rpcclient localhost -U% -c 'dfsgetinfo \localhost\samba-share\pointA localhost pointA'' Mail to upstream was sent to samba-technical list to clarify the change. --- Additional comment from Pavel Filipensky on 2023-08-03 07:50:58 UTC --- The fix is part of samba-4.18.6 which will be released in the middle of August. Rhel 8.9/9.3 will be then rebased to it.
