Samba 3.0.24-6etch10 on Debian Etch. I have really simple samba configuration, on per user principle, (no domain, no wins ..). Some parts of disk conjucted using symlinks, which are working well, if I using windows clients. Linux clients see these as broken symlinks. I'm does not found any information/suggetion how to change this behavior. I suspect (only) that is it about additional unix permissions. Any ideas?

CIFSFS evaluates symlinks locally (as does NFS) so it won't traverse symlinks on a remote filesystem. Jeremy.
