If you are running the latest versions of Samba you will not experience this problem because wide links are disabled by default. If you are not running a current version, you do not need to disable unix extensions entirely, simply disable wide links in your Samba's smb.conf file: wide links = no getwd cache = yes * Enabling the getwd cache is recommended here: oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/appb_02.html But whether it is relevant in this day and age I don't know.
