Finally, let s discuss the widelinksoption. This option, if set to yes, allows the client user to follow symbolic links that point outside the shared directory tree, including files or directories at the other end of the link. For example, let s assume that we modified the [data]share as follows: [data] path = /home/samba/data browseable = yes guest ok = yes writeable = yes case sensitive = no follow symlinks = yes wide links = yes As long as the followsymlinksoption is enabled, this will cause Samba to follow all symbolic links outside the current share tree. If we create a file outside the share (for example, in someone s home directory) and then create a link to it in the share as follows: ln -s ~tom/datafile ./datafile then you will be able to open the file in Tom s directory as per the target file s permissions. 5.2.3 Filesystem Options Table 5.4 shows a breakdown of the options we discussed earlier. We recommend the defaults for most, except those listed in the following descriptions. 153
