Re: [Wlug] samba & symbolic links

I have a linux server that's exporting a samba share at a windows-dominant site. In a directory of the share, there's a symbolic link to a different (non-shared) partition. (We had to move a directory due to space limitations.) Windows clients can mount the share and follow the symbolic link. My fedora-3 client can mount the share (smbmount), but cannot follow the link. I seem to remember that a RH 9 client would follow the link.

Any idea what's going on?

Not sure, but you can try CIFS instead of SMBFS: mount -t cifs -o user=<user/workgroup> //server/share /mnt/point
