This changes how dir symlinks are handled in root shares and leads to avoiding the ACCESS_DENIED ISSUE. [Test Case] 1. Prepare smb server with a share: [rootshare] guest ok = yes path = / wide links = no follow symlinks = yes 2. On the server: mkdir -p /srv/dir ln -s /srv/dir /srv/symdir. 3. Connect from a client: smbclient -m smb3 //server/rootshare -c "cd srv\symdir; dir" [Regression Potential] * When accessing broken symlinks share's base directory is accessed. This however seems to be consistent with a pre-fix behavior. [Other Info] Original bug description: See Samba bug: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12873 for more information and test case.
