For the symbolic link problem you might want to take a look at the
follow symlinks option for your smb.conf file, we have ours set to:
follow symlinks = yes
and going though symlinks works the same for us as on a local machine.
The other problem may be solved (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=207278)
if you set:
unix extensions = no
in the smb.conf.
Both settings should be added/modified in the [global] part of the
file. What happens is you mount the filesystem somewhere and when the
system tries to follow the symlink it is looking for that path on the
local machine not on the server. So alternatively you could mount all
the targets of the symlink to the same structure as they appear on the
server but that is a large pain for any but the most trivial
situations. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Here are my settings:
I have a samba server running samba 3.0.24 on redhat EL4 (kernel
2.6.9-5.ELsmp)
and a samba client running samba 3.2.3-0.20.fc9 on fc9 (kernel
2.6.26.5-45.fc9.x86_64).
A share on server is mounted on client using
sudo mount //server/data /mnt/data -o
user=me,workgroup=group,rw,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700
The problems are (in the directory /mnt/data),
if I use "touch xxx", I get error message "touch: setting times of
`xxx': No
such file or directory", but the file xxx is created.
-rwxrw---- 1 jhe domain users 0 2008-10-09 10:31 xxx
if I use "ln -s test.txt yyy", I get error message "ln: creating
symbolic
link `yyy': No such file or directory" and the file (link) yyy is not
created.
but "echo asd > zzz" creates the file zzz will no problem
-rwxrw---- 1 jhe domain users 4 2008-10-09 10:37 zzz
My questions:
How do I fix the problems I have with touch and ln -s?
If I can't fix the problems with the current version samba (a bug?),
how do
I roll back to old version samba? I remember before the recent "yum
update"
on client, everything worked fine.
Thanks,
George
