<para>This parameter controls whether or not links
7
in the UNIX file system may be followed by the server. Links
8
that point to areas within the directory tree exported by the
9
server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only
10
to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported.</para>
12
<para>Note: Turning this parameter on when UNIX extensions are enabled
13
will allow UNIX clients to create symbolic links on the share that
14
can point to files or directories outside restricted path exported
15
by the share definition. This can cause access to areas outside of
16
the share. Due to this problem, this parameter will be automatically
17
disabled (with a message in the log file) if the
18
<smbconfoption name="unix extensions"/> option is on.
