samba - Nov 2011 - Issue with Links on shares

Hello,

We are having issues when accessing linked directories within a share. If 
we create a share at the linked level its fine. We get access denied when 
we try to access any linked directory from within the share otherwise.


Here is the smb.conf: (The share that we are having the problem with is in 
bold.)

# FROM CLEARCASE GUIDE ON HOW TO SETUP
   host msdfs = no
   bind interfaces only = no
#============================ Share Definitions 
=============================[ccstg]
   comment = clearcase
   path = /usr/clearcase/ccstg/views/cm
   public = yes
   read only = no
#   writable = yes
# FROM CLEARCASE GUIDE ON HOW TO SETUP
   create mask = 0775
   directory mask = 0775
# MS-DOS attribute mapping option
   map archive = no
   map hidden = no
   map system = no
# Locking options
   oplocks = no
   level2 oplocks = no
#   kernel oplocks = no
# File-name handling options
   case sensitive = no
   preserve case = yes
# Other
  follow symlinks = yes
#   wide links = yes
[ccadmin]
   comment = clearcase admin
   path = /usr/clearcase
   read list = jpage001, mrober01, dnalla01, mkuzme01
   write list = jpage001, mrober01, dnalla01, mkuzme01



Thanks,

Keith Stevens

Hi,

I have changed the smb.conf file to include "wide links = yes" and 
restarted the smbd and nmbd daemons and when accessing a linked 
directory I still get Access Denied.

Any other thoughts that maybe causing this?

Current smb.conf file:

[ccstg]
    comment = clearcase
    path = /usr/clearcase/ccstg
    public = yes
    read only = no
#   writable = yes
# FROM CLEARCASE GUIDE ON HOW TO SETUP
    create mask = 0775
    directory mask = 0775
# MS-DOS attribute mapping option
    map archive = no
    map hidden = no
    map system = no
# Locking options
    oplocks = no
    level2 oplocks = no
#   kernel oplocks = no
# File-name handling options
    case sensitive = no
    preserve case = yes
# Other
   follow symlinks = yes
   wide links = yes




Thanks!
