Jobst,

As part of a security fix, you now need to disable unix extensions if you wish to use wide links.

unix extensions = No

Hi.

I have a share that I can only access as root that has a few symlinks in it to 
make it easy for me to access files/dirs.
I used to be able to access before upgrade to

   [root] #>smbd -V
   Version 3.5.4-0.83.el5_7.2

Now it simply displays an error "Access denied"


I have in the smb.conf file the following:

    [SHARE_NAME_MASKED]
      path = /THIS_IS_MY_PATH
      valid users = @domadmins
      admin users = root
      read only = No
      create mask = 0660
      force create mode = 0770
      directory mask = 0770
      force directory mode = 06770
      browseable = No
      follow symlinks = yes
      wide links = yes

and in /etc/group

      domadmins:x:GROUPID_MASKED:root

I have not changed any other setting after upgrade of samba, nor have I changed 
file/directory permissions.


Any ideas anyone?
Jobst
