[Samba] Symlink Issue

[Dale Schroeder]

Nick,

Is it possible that Suse has backported the fix for Bug #7104 
<https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7104> into your version?
I believe the lowest version from samba.org with this fix is 3.3.11

The links are on one of the filesystems shared by Samba, but point to directories on an NFS-mounted volume.  The permissions and export on the NFS volume are such that both root and normal users on this Samba server can access the contents correctly.  However, when I try to follow the symlink in Samba via a Windows client, I receive an "Access is denied" error.  This actually does not seem to be limited to NFS-mounted volumes - symlinks don't seem to be working across any of the local filesystems, but they are working within a single filesystem.  My smb.conf file does contain "wide links = yes"  and "follow symlinks = yes" both for the particular share about which I'm concerned and in the global section, but that doesn't seem to help.  Here are some system details:
