samba - Mar 2004 - using sym-links with Samba

I have a File Server with 3 HDDs. Everyone has a directory with the name
"samba".  One of the HDD has a secondary Directory with the name
"samba_nfo". In
this Directory,i have created links to the other shares. My Question is: Can
a Client follow this links with the smb.conf Option "wide links = no".
It is
a security Problem when i turn this Option to "yes" ... It is possible
without separete "[share]" Options in the smb.conf. ?

[code]
ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 tubbi    users          15 Mar 20 11:55 hda40_a ->
/mnt/hda1/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 tubbi    users          15 Mar 20 12:07 hda40_b ->
/mnt/hda2/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 tubbi    users          15 Mar 20 12:07 hda40_c ->

lrwxrwxrwx    1 tubbi    users          15 Mar 20 12:13 hdc30 ->
/mnt/hdc1/samba
[/code]

cd \hda40_a\: NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND

Why not just create a single share named [samba_nfo] and
use a dfs referral to redirect users to it.  You can then
set 'wide links = yes' for that share alone.
