Samba not following symlinks

English Network/Internet

When I access my OpenSUSE box’s samba shares from another PC I am able to browse them, but am not able to follow symlinks.

I’ve had the problem before on Ubuntu and fixed it by adding the following lines to my /etc/samba/smb.conf

unix extensions = No
wide links = Yes
follow symlinks = Yes

I’ve added them into my OpenSUSE smb.conf (below) but still no joy.

[Bash] smb.conf which doesn’t allow me to traverse symlinks - Pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com/UqwAq3jA)

What am I doing wrong here?

this is bizarre.
let’s start with the obvious, did you restart smbd ?
what client are you using? linux? windows?
is the client identical to your old install?
