Ubuntu + latest samba version, symlinks no longer work on share mounted in windows
- by Roy Rico
I just apt-getted (apt-got?) the latest software for my Ubuntu 9.10 linux box, and I noticed that samba was the included in the update.
After the install, the symlinks in my home directory no longer work when mounted as a drive in my linux box. They worked literally seconds before I did the update. All my normal directories work just fine. Viewing the directory listing on the command line, all the files, dirs & links have the exact same permissions, yet this is the error I get:
Location is not available
L:\LinkDir is not accessible.
Access is denied.
I looked on the forums, and i saw this option for the smb.conf
follow symlinks = yes
wide symlinks = yes
unix extensions = no
I put those in, but they had no effect. Has anyone had this problem yet?
