[Samba] wide link and unix extensions

[GARETTE Emmanuel]

Hi,

I'm working on a free french project for school.

To avoid lot of mount point, we use symlink between teacher's home
directory and some student's home directory.

We support windows and gnu/linux client, so we need the option "unix
extensions".

We have a problem with this architecture and this patch :
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7104

We know that we can access to all files in the server from the beginning
of the project. But, if all files has great rights, there is no problem
for us.

>From now, we can't support windows and gnu/linux client (change our
architecture is not possible, unfortunately).

Why can't we use wide link and unix extensions together ?
I misunderstood why you have change this behaviors.

Why not adding a new option with a big warning in conf file to allow
that ? Or why not add a new option with directory name that symlink
can't exit in server side following symlink (like a chroot) ?

How can we have access to student's home directory without add multiple
shares ?
