Jeremy,

Is this a change in behavior ?

* create a symlink in a share to a directory that
  has permissions that would deny a given user to
  stat the link target

* smbd removes the link from the list of files
  in the output to smbclient and Windows 2003

  get_lanman2_dir_entry: SMB_FIND_FILE_BOTH_DIRECTORY_INFO
  get_lanman2_dir_entry:readdir on dirptr 0x8558a30 now at offset
    -2147483648
  dos_mode: ./..
  dos_mode_from_sbuf returning d
  dos_mode returning d
  get_lanman2_dir_entry found ./.. fname=..
  get_lanman2_dir_entry: SMB_FIND_FILE_BOTH_DIRECTORY_INFO
  get_lanman2_dir_entry:readdir on dirptr 0x8558a30 now at offset 56
  get_lanman2_dir_entry:Couldn't stat [./lwi-builds] (Permission denied)
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  get_lanman2_dir_entry:readdir on dirptr 0x8558a30 now at offset 72
  dos_mode: ./winadmin
  dos_mode_from_sbuf returning d
  dos_mode returning d
  get_lanman2_dir_entry found ./winadmin fname=winadmin
  get_lanman2_dir_entry: SMB_FIND_FILE_BOTH_DIRECTORY_INFO
  get_lanman2_dir_entry:readdir on dirptr 0x8558a30 now at offset 4096

It seems to be that we should display the link anyways.
Hide unreadable is not set.





cheers, jerry
