Hello all,

I thought symbolink links work in samba versions greater than 3 and linux
kernel 2.9
I tried mounting a windows XP share with the following options,

mount -t smbfs //ip/results  /data/results -o username=xxx
,password=xxx,gid=502,uid=100,fmask=777,dmask=777,rw 0 0

I could access the files, create files and directories.
But, when I tried creating symbolink links* I get operation not permitted.*

I checked with cifs too, I get the same message.
Any help regarding this is appreciated.

Thanks,
Karun
