Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
Sharing a symlink using samba makes all content pointed to by that symlink readonly. However, when sharing the folder above that symlink, and navigating into it, all the content is read/write as it should be. The content is the same in both cases, it's just that the write permission is always prohibited if the symlink itself is the root of the share.
