[Bug 908303] [NEW] smbd: vfs_shadow_copy2 module fails without "wide links = yes"

[TiCPU]

Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
Release:	11.10

samba:
  Installed: 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1
  Candidate: 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1
  Version table:
 *** 2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2.1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2:3.5.11~dfsg-1ubuntu2 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

When setting up a share using

vfs object = shadow_copy2

shadow copies don't show on remote computer unless

unix extensions = no
wide links = yes

are added to the global section as well which disable features and might
enable access to paths from anywhere in the system which is a security
issue.

Debugging of the problem has been done in samba mailing list but
stopped: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-
