Hi List,
While facing the astonishing amount of replies, yet I found some time to
dig on this issue, and it appeared the problem came from the lack of the
option
wide links = yes
on the concerned share.
Activating this option forced me to globally disable
unix extensions = no
as I understood from this note :
http://www.samba.org/samba/news/symlink_attack.html
What I'm keeping to see as weird is that using the IP address still
allows me to use wide links abilities AND unix extensions...
Anyway, this one is solved, let's face the next one.
