Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
previously i can access the symbol link folder in a samba share folder.
e.g. ln -s /var/www <-- create a symbol link in my share folder. the permission is set to 755 root : root
But after I upgrade to the latest package using "apt-get upgrade" as at 30 March 2010, it prompt "access denied" when I access the symbol link folder in the samba share folder from my MS Windows PC.
Then I try to mount the samba share folder direct from the server, it didn't show the symbol link folder in the share folder!
It can be access just before upgrade to samba3.

- CVE-2010-0926
* WARNING: This changes the default samba behaviour. For security
reasons, it is no longer possible to use wide links and UNIX
extensions at the same time. After applying this security update, wide
links will be disabled automatically as UNIX extensions are turned on
by default. If wide links are required, you may re-enable them by
adding "unix extensions = no" to the [global] section of
the /etc/samba/smb.conf configuration file.
