FYI, when we do finalize the UNIX extensions, at least for
the Samba implementation, we're not going to allow clients
to create "real" symlinks on the server - only SMB-followable
symlinks. Allowing clients to create real server symlinks as
in SMB1 UNIX extensions has been a long-term security disaster.
