mounting samba shares with sym links
the situation facing me is this....there are 2 computers, one on debian and one on ubuntu...the former is sharing some directories through samba...and i am accessing it(rather trying to) on my ubuntu..now on the debian computer, the person sharing it is actually sharing a folder that he has created that has symlinks to all the folders that have the content but are in different directories inside / ...the problem now is that when i mount the shares on my computer using smbmount, it mounts fine but then the sym links still show up as links...but as sym links to folders on my computer...and obviously, those folders to which the sym links exist dont exist on my computer..as a result, the whole effort is going waste...why isnt samba symlinking the shares to the folders on the remote computers when mounting? or is there any other solution to this "problem" ? (have already told him about nfs but my friend doesnt want to nfs his shares for some reason)...
thanks for any help!!
