Add

Code:

follow symlinks = Yes
wide links = Yes

to your share configuration in smb.conf

I just tired adding the information and restating the service but I
still get the same error. Strange thing is that two existing shares have
now problems. But the one does and any new ones seem go give me the same
error. Here is the config file. The last two shares are the ones haveing
problmes.

smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full

commented

version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if

the

samba-doc package is installed.

Each share has its own [ShareName] section with options specific to
each. You will need to make sure that the share you want to work with
includes the options you need. Its probably not a good idea to have
those symlink directives in the global config as it may inadvertently
allow data to leak from outside the shares. ( Perhaps those directives
are no longer valid globally. ) So try relocating the directives under a
given share, restart SAMBA, and re-test.

Try adding

Code:

unix extensions = no

to the [global] section.

It worked. I really appreciate the help. I could not find a lot of
information on this error and was read to give up.
