[linux-cifs-client] Re: problems accessing winxp shares with directory links inside

[Erik Latoshek]

well, on my system (Debian 3+) i was not able to do cd on linked 
directories.

i'l write my example, directory structure on host machine:
...
share
   a
   b
   c
   d
user
   share
      a
      d
...

\user directory is being mounted, user have full rights on this share, 
but \user\share\a and \user\share\d points to a directories \share\a and 
\share\d which are read-only (Read + Read & Execute for mounting user) 
and out of share scope.

in this case, i dont see reason to allow to read such link target 
information, and maybe windows will not allow to do so as it is out of 
user share scope. probably :>.
