I think it's just a matter of wording - the author is explaining what the effect would be of having the link. Maybe reword it like this: "By default, a &kpf; share does not allow the following of symbolic links. This means that if you have a share pointing to <filename class=\"directory\">/your/home/folder/public_html</filename> and you create a link inside <filename class=\"directory\"> public_html</filename>, pointing to <filename class=\"directory\"> /tmp</filename>, anyone accessing <filename class=\"directory\"> /tmp</filename>, who would normally be able to see the contents of your <filename>/tmp</filename> folder, would be prevented from doing so."
