Re: [Samba] reiserfs, samba, symlinks and windows
I thought that as well at first but if I change the default share to '/tmp' I am able to map the drive but I am NOT able to view any of the symlinks in that directory with windows.

You will not see any symlinks in windows also if the target folder of the symlink is not accessible to the windows user as well.

Re: [Samba] reiserfs, samba, symlinks and windows
Ok I found something kind of odd and I am not sure if it is related but I changed the home directory path from /tmp/desktop (symlink: desktop - /home/username/Desktop/) to /tmp and receive the following message: find_workgroup_on_subnet: workgroup search for SCL on subnet 192.168.0.1: found. However, if I change the path back to my symlink I receive this error: find_name_on_subnet: on subnet 192.168.0.1 - name SCL1e NOT FOUND Not sure about this but I tried the permissions on the symlink to 777 as well as the contents of the symlink absolute path and am still not able to map the share. Any help is appreciated.
