Yes. Setting "wide links = yes" and "allow insecure wide links = yes" 
always hides all symlinks from clients. It's dangerously insecure
and the settings remain for legacy smb.conf files and cases where
the admin knows what they are doing. As I recall setting this
does always generate a warning in the log.
