Closest I get to Santiago's results are with the 2.4.33.7 plus the patch, with 'use default NLS' option turned on, as well as the unix extensions. 2.4.34 was a no go for me. Changing the default NLS made no difference, now trying with unix extensions turned on. . . Yeah, that works, apart from the test file gaining execute bits, compared to operation under 2.4.33.3, this is 2.4.34 + patch + default NLS and unix extensions: grant@sempro:/home/other$ cat dirlink/filelink this is a test grant@sempro:/home/other$ echo "this is a test" > testfile grant@sempro:/home/other$ ls -l total 4096 drwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 0 2007-01-21 11:44 dir/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 3 2007-01-21 11:43 dirlink -> dir/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 15 2007-01-21 11:43 file* lrwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 4 2007-01-21 11:44 filelink -> file* drwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 0 2007-01-22 10:45 test/ -rwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 15 2007-01-22 21:31 testfile* lrwxr-xr-x 1 grant wheel 4 2007-01-22 21:29 testlink -> test/ grant@sempro:/home/other$ ln -s testfile testfilelink grant@sempro:/home/other$ cat testfilelink this is a test The fix depends on the smbfs configuration? Is this the requirement? I ask as the other mode of operation (unix extensions turned off): do not display symlinks, prevent creation of symlinks, seems to be logically self-consistent, as well as matching what I see from a 'doze box.
