Figure 5.4: Contents of the [data] share with dont descend 5.2.2 Links DOS and NT filesystems don t have symbolic links; Windows 95/98/NT systems approximate this with “shortcuts” instead. Therefore, when a client tries to open a symbolic link on a Samba server share, Samba attempts to follow the link to find the real file and let the client open it, as if he or she were on a Unix machine. If you don t want to allow this, set the followsymlinks option: [data] path = /home/samba/data browseable = yes guest ok = yes writeable = yes case sensitive = no follow symlinks = no You can test this by creating a directory on the Unix server inside the share as the user that you are logging in with. Enter the following commands: % mkdir hello; cd hello % cat “This is a test” >hello.txt % ln -s hello.txt “Link to hello” This results in the two files shown in the window in Figure 5.5. Normally, if you click on either one, you will receive a file which has the text “This is a test” inside of it. However, with the followsymlinksoption set to no, you should receive an error similar to the dialog in Figure 5.5 if you click on “Link to hello.” Figure 5.5: An error dialog trying to follow symbolic links when forbidden by Samba 152
