[Bug 554928] [NEW] cannot follow symlinks on any samba share

[Stede Bonnett]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS
Release:        8.04

In the current release of Samba 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.11 any symlinks present
in a shared folder will not resolve correctly and a path not found error
is triggered on the client-side.

Rolling back the various samba packages and dependencies to 3.0.28a-
1ubuntu4.10 fixes the issue.

  Installed: 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.10
