I am also providing the employees with WinSCP clients, so they can 
access files on the server when away from the office.  It follows the 
symlinks without problem.  WinSCP connects them to their home 
directories.  I have created symlinks in /etc/skel, so that when I set 
up a user, they automatically have symlinks to the common directories on 
/srv.  With Samba, I have to share both home directories and /srv and 
they then have to use the separate /srv share to access the common 
directories, instead of following the link from their home directory.
