[Samba] VFS module - symlinks on MacOS

Hi, having written a VFS module, I’d like to have a MacOS client read symlinks that were created on the Linux backend.

I do not want to be storing Minshall+French symlinks. I want real symlinks on the backend filesystem, and for the MacOS client to be creating real symlinks.

Is there any support for this, or will I need to write something that automatically translates Minshall+French style into real symlinks?

Kind regards,
   Dan
