I'm using SAMBA for many years, in my SOHO - I'm quite satisfied.
One small question is up every time when I'm creating a symlink on the
SAMBA server box from a share to point to a moint point for example
/mnt/some_block_device (of course read/writable for particular user),
windows cleanly "see" it, as a directory entry - I cían copy/remove do
everything what could be done on the share. When I'm using the same share
on a Linux box (I'm a Debian lover) it's seen as a broken symlink!
This is the normal behavior? Can I change it some way?

If you are mounting using CIFS, then unix extensions are probably being enabled. As a result, things that samba would normally hide (such as symlinks) are being sent for the client to sort out.

If the symlink points to somewhere else inside the share, you could look at using relative instead of absolute links, or you could disable unix extensions.
