Hi all,
I am having a real bizarre problem with Samba 2.2.2 on Solaris 8. I have
set up the smb.conf to share all user's home folders, and want to ensure
that all dot files are visible. The problem I am having is that the dot
files all appear except for one specific one (which happens to be the exact
file that is needed!). I can see it when I telnet, but not using Samba.
The dot file is a link, which is referred to by other links in the share. I
have ensured that follow symlinks = yes and wide links = yes are set.
Here's the really wierd part. In one of the shares, everything works fine!
I can see all the right files, but in the rest that one dot file is missing.
The share that works is the jahaley share, none of the others are showing
the right files.
Please help!
