Hi.. I’m trying to make smbd to follow symlinks on a machine based on openSUSE 11.4 x86_64, in my smb.conf I have this for the share in question:
(a) this is a bad idea (b) man smb.conf --> "wide links"
<QUOTE> This parameter controls whether or not links in the UNIX file system may be followed by the server. Links that point to areas within the directory tree exported by the server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported. </QUOTE>
The symlink does point outside the exported tree. The export is /srv/www and the symlink is /srv/www/homes which points to /home Anyway, I tried setting this in the global section: unix extensions = no follow symlinks = yes as well as follow symlinks = yes in the share config. I still can't access the symlinked directory from /srv/www so the question is if there's a bug in openSUSE's implementation of the samba server.
