Bug Description
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
samba:
Installed: 2:3.5.11~
Candidate: 2:3.5.11~

When setting up a share using
vfs object = shadow_copy2
shadow copies don't show on remote computer unless
unix extensions = no
wide links = yes
are added to the global section as well which disable features and might enable access to paths from anywhere in the system which is a security issue.
Debugging of the problem has been done in samba mailing list but stopped: https:/
