symlinks not working on Samba mounted drives.

[Stephen Iribarne]

Title: symlinks not working on Samba mounted drives.





I checked out the FAQ on this but my version of Samba 1.9 and the latest version I have 2.03 on another Linux box must not support the options mentioned in the FAQ. 

When I do from my bash shell:


ln -s ../main/FileFoo.h .


If I look at the file that was just created it looks like


!<symlink>../main/FileFoo.h^@



The FAQ talks about the option mask system = yes and create mask = 0775.  I can't find anything in the Samba doc that talks about this.

I've tried multiple variations...any help would be greatly appreciated.


thanks
