Mountain Lion/SMB/symlinks
Hi, I have a little problem with symlinks on samba share... I added unix extension = no to /etc/samba/smb.conf (global) then added wide links = Yes follow symlinks = Yes ...

What I can't understand is that same symlinks works on Windows, Ubuntu and ElementaryOS but not on ML...
On my old NAS (Streamed eTrayz) I had same HDD setup/folder setup and symlinks worked fine on all OS.
I have created and used Symbolic links on my ReadyNAS via a Mac and they work fine but I have not tested them under Mountain Lion. I used the ln -s command. The difference in behavior might be down to 'hard' and 'soft' links (i.e. using or not using the -s flag).
