samba - Sep 2006 - unable to create symlinks on PDC Samba/Ubuntu

Hello,

I have a CentOS 4 PDC running Samba 3 with 2 file shares and some Ubuntu
6.06 Samba 3 clients.
All is working fine, except when I try to create symlinks: I always get
"Operation not permitted".
Is there any way to permit users to create local/remote symlinks on
files stored on samba mounts ?

Thanks

	AFAIK, you can't create symlinks (unix symlinks) on Samba
Shares. And there is no workaround, you can create symlinks on the
filesystem and samba clients will see them like regular files, but
AFAICT creating symlinks in Samba shares won't work.
