Title: Cannot access anything under a subdirectory if symlinks are disallowed Status in samba: Unknown Status in samba package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in samba source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in samba source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in samba source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in samba source package in Yakkety: Fix Released Status in samba source package in Zesty: Invalid Status in samba package in Debian: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to 4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.14.04.6, some of my shares broke in a curious way. The affected shares have `follow symlinks = no`; the ones with `follow symlinks = yes` aren't affected AFAICT. Allowing symlinks on one of the affected shares mitigates the issue for that share. The issue is that access to anything under a direct subdirectory of the share doesn't work. I can create a directory in `\\srv\share`, e.g. `\\srv\share\foo`, but I can't create any files or directories inside it, e.g. creating `\\srv\share\foo\bar` ends up with error 50 (The request is not supported). Attempts to access existing files or directories at this level produce error 59 (An unexpected network error occured). The log at level 2 says: ``` ../source3/smbd/vfs.c:1298(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name: Bad access attempt: branches is a symlink to foo/bar ``` ... or: ``` ../source3/smbd/vfs.c:1298(check_reduced_name) check_reduced_name: Bad access attempt: . is a symlink to foo ``` To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/samba/+bug/1675698/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators Post to : group.of.nepali.translators@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~group.of.nepali.translators More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
