samba - Feb 2007 - Can Windows client detect symlinks on Samba server?

Did you ever get an answer to your question of "Can Windows client
detect symlinks on a Samba server?" I'm running into that problem and
needing to detect recursive links so I don't continue to recurse on the
same directory.

 

Thanks,

No, Windows clients don't see symlinks on a Samba server.
Linux clients will though (using the UNIX extensions).
