I had this weird problem (SUSE Prof. 9.2, smb version 3.09): I use smbmount to access my directory on a remote server. I used "smbmount //remote_server/share mounting_point". I was able to mount the remote directory and see the files, but all the symbolic links in the remote directory are broken. When I did "ls -l", all the links are still listed as links, e.g. "name --> target". I guess this problem is solvable, because when I used "smb://remote_server/share" in konqueror browser, all the symbolic links are converted correctly. Another guy using smb version 2.2.x (Linux RH 9) didn't have this problem. when he did the samething, all the symbolic links are properly listed as files/directories. Does anybody have a solution ? thanks in advance ! --Long
