** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
   * In case of accessing directories chdir to it directly instead of its
  parent directory. This changes how dir symlinks are handled in root
  shares and leads to avoiding the ACCESS_DENIED ISSUE.
  
  [Test Case]
  
   1. Prepare smb server with a share:
  [rootshare]
     guest ok = yes
     path = /
     wide links = no
     follow symlinks = yes
   2. On the server:
  mkdir -p /srv/dir
  ln -s /srv/dir /srv/symdir.
   3. Connect from a client:
  smbclient -m smb3 //server/rootshare -c "cd srv\symdir; dir"
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
   * When accessing broken symlinks share's base directory is accessed.
  This however seems to be consistent with a pre-fix behavior.
  
  [Other Info]
  
+ This fix is included in Samba 4.6.7 release so Artful and Debian both
+ have it already.
