We had 3.0.2a which worked fine. If you tried to open a file that the
ACLs wouldn't let you, you'd get access denied. We had follow
symlinks=no in smb.conf

Now with 3.0.8, and no other changes, we get a message about "The file
has moved or otherwise gone away," instead of access denied.

And we get this in the log file:

[2004/11/16 15:57:25, 1] smbd/vfs.c:reduce_name(896)
~  reduce_name: couldn't get realpath for B/*

Changing follow symlinks=yes fixed it. Is this a bug? I'd like to use
ACLs and follow symlinks=no.
