(Sorry if this has been covered before. I can't seem to come up with the right search terms [for here or for google] to get me an answer. :-/ )

I've set up a samba server for use in a mostly Windows environment. One of the folders that is being shared has subfolders that are actually symlinks to folders stored on other partitions on the server. This is no problem for windows users who acces the share. However, when I try to mount the share, it treats the symlinks as though they point to folders on my computer, which, obviously don't exist. How can I make it so that the symlinks get "resolved" to the right place?

Thanks. :)
