[linux-cifs-client] Links horribly broken by 2.6 kernel !

[Hari Sekhon]

I've got a linux box with a 2.6 kernel that breaks things by showing links
on the remote side of an smb connection instead of following them...

I've tried both 2.6.15 and 2.6.16 kernels and it occurs in both, but this
didn't used to happen on the old machine which had a 2.4 kernel.

I'm sure this is somebody bright idea for security but has caused a huge
problem in that none of my backups now work which were linked into a single
samba share for each machine.


Worse, the links point to the local machine so I could have 50 copies of the
same directories from the local machine instead of those from the 50 remote
linux machines!
