[Samba] Unable to follow dfs referral - still a problem for smbclient & also freebsd smbfs

[sato x]

Hi Werner,

I don't know if this can help you, but I did (a couple hours ago) have an
"almost" similar problem as you do. In my case, I use symlink in the samba
share. They can be accessed from windows users but from linux. When I
mounted the share in linux, the link was broken. All I do is add these
parameter in smb.conf

      [global]
        ### These enable symlinks ###
        unix extensions = no
        getwd cache = yes
        wide links = yes
        follow symlinks = yes

then I restarted samba. Now I can access the symlink via linux mount. Good
luck.

Regards,

sato
