[Samba] Cannot access share when symlinks and widelinks disabled

[Mark Proehl]

Hi,

I did some testing with 3.0.6rc2. My smb.conf looks like this:

  [global]
        log level = 3
        wide links = No
        follow symlinks = No

  [test]
        path = /tmp

When connecting \\myserver\test from XP-Box I get "access denied"
Accesing the share with smbclient works, but I can't list any files:

  root # smbclient '\\localhost\test'
  Password: 
  Domain=[TEST] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.6rc2]
  smb: \> dir
  NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing *

                36990 blocks of size 524288. 8924 blocks available

After setting follow symlinks = yes, it works
