NAME

       vfs_expand_msdfs - Expand msdfs links depending on client IP

SYNOPSIS

       vfs objects = expand_msdfs

DESCRIPTION

       This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.

       With this module, the link target is not directly a server and share, but this module expects the target
       to reference a file, containing a table. The file is referenced by means of the msdfs symlink target
       according to msdfs:@table-filename@/share. The file table-filename is supposed to contain a list of
       destinations that are looked at from top to bottom:

           192.168.234 local.samba.org
           192.168 remote.samba.org
            default.samba.org

       With this, clients from network 192.168.234/24 are redirected to host local.samba.org, clients from
       192.168/16 are redirected to remote.samba.org and all other clients go to default.samba.org.

VERSION

       This man page is part of version 4.19.5-Ubuntu of the Samba suite.
