The idea is to make the navigation through symlinks uniform, both in ssh 
shell and via Samba share, without breaking anything that works on the 
shared directories and relies on symlinks existence..

Correct me if I am wrong, you propose changing all the symlinks to 
'mount -o bind' mounts?

Is there documented way to traverse symlinks on share?

Thanks.
