[Bug 153405] [NEW] symbolic links don't work using samba client in gutsy rc

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

After a fresh install of Gutsy rc, and installation of samba client (sudo apt-get install samba smbfs), symbolic links in the shared directories are not displayed on the client (Nautilus) or don't work (terminal window). 
However, the links are working when using another computer, running Feisty Fawn and samba client. The links are also correctly displayed when using XP (dual boot with Gutsy rc).

In a terminal window, the links are displayed in red on a black
background, but do not work (no such file or directory when doing a cd).
Gutsy rc is using samba client version 3.0.26a

The computer acting as file server is running Samba under Feisty Fawn, no recent changes made to its configuration.
(the links in the shared directories on this server are links to directories on the same server,  but to directories beside the shared directories).

The computer with Feisty Fawn and samba client, that displays the links
correctly, uses samba client version 3.0.24.

I can provide any files needed, just let me know.
