For some resaon I cannot get my samba client to follow symlinks on my samba server. The windows client sees the symlinks as folders like they should, and if I let gnome follow the links in computer:// to the samba shares, the symlinks are treated correctly. The problem is mounting the shares manually, with fstab. The symlinks are then files, that cannot be followed.

This is the fstab entry on the client

Code:

//192.168.2.102/home /mnt/home cifs noauto,uid=1000,username=hadoque,password=,umask=000 0 0

This is samba.conf on the server:

Code:

[home]
comment = shared
path = /home/hadoque
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
writable = yes
follow symlinks=yes
wide links=yes
unix extensions = no

I have also done:

Code:

echo 0 > /proc/fs/cifs/LinuxExtensionsEnabled

on the client. Why cant i follow symlinks? This is making me nuts...
