[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#612764: This bug should be discussed with upstream, but...

[Christian PERRIER]

...I need to understand what we're after..:-)


From my understanding, what's expected by manty and confirmed by Steve
is that the localtime link in the share would point to
/usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC *on the client* and there is no harm in this.

It seems indeed that the problem could be in the code that says "hey,
this is a link outside the share":

My share:
mykerinos:/var/tmp/samba-test# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root     root 8 11 mai   23:26 bar -> /tmp/bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 cperrier root 0  9 mai    2010 foo

I mount this on /mnt:
mykerinos:/var/tmp/samba-test# mount -t cifs  //127.0.0.1/share /mnt
Password: 

mykerinos:/var/tmp/samba-test# cd /mnt
mykerinos:/mnt# ls -l
ls: impossible de lire le lien symbolique bar: Permission non accordée
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root     root 8 11 mai   23:26 bar
-rw-r--r-- 1 cperrier root 0  9 mai    2010 foo

mykerinos:/mnt# cat bar
cat: bar: Permission non accordée

logs:

What we would expect is that "bar" is not considered to be a symlink
outside the share path, but just a link following the *client* file
system, thus pointing to /tmp/bar *on the client*

Is that correct?
