[Bug 563752] Re: 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.11 has new "unix extensions" parameter default to yes, wreaking havoc on existing configs

[Marc Deslauriers]

This is the way the upstream Samba project chose to fix this issue. See:

http://www.samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.4.6.html

and

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7104

Unfortunately, there is no simple way to fix the issue without altering
some setups.

We prefer to disable wide links automatically, as unix extensions are
important for unix clients. If wide links are important to you, and you
don't use samba to server unix clients, you may disable unix extensions
manually.

If you would like this to be fixed in a different way, I suggest opening
a bug with the upstream Samba project and try to get them to reconsider
their decision.
