I am using samba to pull a backup of my linux host over the network so I made the following share:
[backup] comment = share for veritas path = / valid users = root read only = yes dont descend = proc dev mnt lost+found sys follow symlinks = no hide unreadable = yes The root user is mapped to administrator and the samba host is on the domain, so the windows box logs on and pulls it's backup just fine except for when it gets to a symlink it gets 'access denied' which causes veritas to throw a fit. What I would really like here is to just not show symlinks in this share. That would eliminate the data from being backed up twice where there is a symlink, and it would also never return 'access denied' which would make veritas not suck as much. Any ideas? schu -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
