Hi Jeremy,

with 3.0.5pre1 relative symlinks are really working. Thanks for solving that 
problem.

But I think, the other problem (symlink in the path to the share) is not 
fixed. Look at this configuration:

  $ cat /usr/local/samba-3.0.5pre1/lib/smb.conf
   [global]
       passdb backend = smbpasswd
       log level = 3
       log file = /var/samba/log.%m
       follow symlinks = yes
       wide links = no
    [test]
      path = /tmp/test
      readonly = no
  $ ls -ld /tmp/test
  drwxr-x---    3 proehl   s+c          4096 May 27 16:49 /tmp/test
  $ /usr/local/samba-3.0.5pre1/bin/smbclient '\\hydra\test'
  Password:
  Domain=[HYDRA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.5pre1]
  smb: \> dir
    .                                   D        0  Thu May 27 16:49:28 2004
    ..                                  D        0  Thu May 27 16:54:25 2004
    dir                                 D        0  Thu May 27 16:49:46 2004
    file                                         0  Thu May 27 16:49:28 2004

so far, everything works fine. But if I replace the directory "test" by a 
symlink, I cannot access the share:

  $ mv /tmp/test/ /tmp/TEST 
  $ cd /tmp/
  $ mv test/ TEST
  $ ln -s TEST/ test
  $ ls -ld test
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 proehl   s+c             5 May 27 17:01 test -> TEST//
  $ /usr/local/samba-3.0.5pre1/bin/smbclient '\\hydra\test'
  Password:
  Domain=[HYDRA] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.5pre1]
  smb: \> dir
