Thinking about this somewhat more, several other solutions to the problem may be considered:
1. If "wide links = yes" and "unix extensions = yes" are both present on a share, do it the other way round: disable unix extensions rather than wide links. 2. Even better: _only_ disable the call to make symlinks (... that's the only one with a security implication, right?...) 3. And still better: only disallow to create symlinks that point outside of the share (so that the only such symlinks would be those set up "manually", for instance by the administrator) -- 3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.11 has new "unix extensions" parameter default to yes, wreaking havoc on existing configs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563752 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
