[Samba] using sym-links with Samba

[RedNuX at gmx.at]

I have a File Server with 3 HDDs. Everyone has a directory with the name
"samba".  One of the HDD has a secondary Directory with the name "samba_nfo". In
this Directory,i have created links to the other shares. My Question is: Can
a Client follow this links with the smb.conf Option "wide links = no". It is
a security Problem when i turn this Option to "yes" ... It is possible
without separete "[share]" Options in the smb.conf. ?

[code]
ls -l
