samba - Apr 2008 - Broken symlink inside a folder

Hello List,

I ran into a problem where I cannot delete a folder which looks empty to
Windows, but actually got a dangling symlink inside of it. Is there any
configuration option that I should turned on or off, so that I can delete the
said folder? Btw, option 'follow symlinks = yes' is must for me and
I'm using samba version 3.0.20.

Appreciate any thought, thanks!

There's no easy way to do this unless the symlink path (not the target) is
contained
in the "veto files" option and "delete veto files" is set to
yes.
