From the announcement: because you can create symlinks pointing anywhere, and Windows clients will resolve these on the server, thereby escaping the limits set by the share. What "other methods" do you refer to? With NFS, for example, symlinks will be resolved on the client, so this cannot be used to escape the export tree.
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. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
