[Samba] Symlinks out of sharing still not working on 3.0.5

[Vandeir Eduardo]

Hi guys,

samba client version 3.0.5, server version 3.0.5, kernel 2.4.26.

Relevant configs on server:
unix extensions = Yes
wide links = Yes
follow symlinks = Yes

On client computer with home user mounted via smbfs
I'm trying this:

D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > cd /tmp
D102-054 [/tmp] > mkdir dest_dir
D102-054 [/tmp] > cd -
D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > ln -s /tmp/dest_dir orig_dir
D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > ls -la
total 524292
drwx------    1 dito     bcc             0 Jul 29 21:11 .
drwx-----x    1 dito     alunos       4096 Jul 29 21:08 ..
lrwxrwxrwx    1 dito     bcc            12 Jul 29 21:11 orig_dir -> tmp/dest_dir

Why samba is linking to "tmp/dest_dir" when should link
to "/tmp/dest_dir"? (note initial slash missing)

D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > mkdir tmp2
D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > mkdir dest_dir2
D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp] > cd tmp2
D102-054 [/lp/home/dito/tmp/tmp2] > ln -s ../dest_dir2 orig_dir2
ln: creating symbolic link `orig_dir2' to `../dest_dir2': input/output error

Other symlinks that don't start whith ".." ou "/" works
properly. What's going on here? This is driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance.
