[Samba] Samba 3.5.6: can't follow symlinks on shares
Hello, Samba version: 3.5.6, OS CentOS 5.5 64-bit. The problem: I have a share with symlinks leading outside the share. After mounting the shared resource (cifs), I can't proceed through symlinks (permission denied). Setting options follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes for the share doesn't change Samba behaviour. Could someone enlighten me on how to handle this? Thanks. Sincerely, Konstantin
