Samba symbolic share?


Is it possible to have a symbolic samba share that links to a samba share on another server? I tried using smb://192.168.21.119/share for the location but it didn't work.

I want a samba share to serve as a symbolic link to a Samba share on another server. Anything that is saved to smb://192.168.21.41/share I want to be physically stored on smb://192.168.21.119/share.

so you need to mount smb://192.168.21.119/share on 192.168.21.41 and share smb://192.168.21.41/share too
