you can turn that feature off if you like follow symlinks = no default is for yes win32 has no real concept of symlinks(shortcuts arent anywhere near what symlinks are). so building it into the server software was probably needed. win32 is the dominant SMB platform..would be curious as to how nfs client software on win32 reacts to symlinks .. nate
