Re: [Samba] Links followed to my local filesystem
I upgraded the client, (from 3.0.0-15 to 3.0.10) the server remains the same (3.0.4), it seems like the linux client changed it's behavior regarding following links on the server side. Any ideas ?

Re: [Samba] Links followed to my local filesystem
in reply to this message : http://www.mail-archive.com/samba@lists.samba.org/msg54046.html I have the same problem. I have an old Redhat 7.3 box that I am trying to replace with a FC3 box.. when the FC3 box mounts samba directories the symlinks show up as symlinks ( and are invalid as they point to non-local paths) When the RedHat 7.3 box mounts the same directories, it is unaware that the symlinks are not directories. For years I have accumulated symlinks that files between different projects. So, it's not an easy option to stop using symlinks I tried installing the old version of samba on the new machine, ( rpm -U samba-client-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm samba-common-2.2.7-3.7.3.i386.rpm --force --nodeps ) it complained but seemed to work. But even with the OLD rpms the symlinks still show up as symlinks. I am at wits end. My friend found related link in bugzilla . https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2008 If that is the problem, is there a quick and dirty trick to make the server think all clients are windows clients? ( clearly not an elegant solution but would solve the current crisis ) -- Russell Polo -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

I need to think about this issue a bit Jeremy. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

After upgrading to fedora core 3 and therefore to samba 3.0.10 I found Who did you upgrade? client or server? that the link in the samba folder is broken because it's pointing to a non existen directory in my machine instead of pointing to the directory located in the server.
