Standard behavior of Samba is to dereference symlinks on the server
side, making them transparent to the clients. In the case that the
client claims to support symlinks, Samba will provide the actual
link, allowing the client to do its own dereferencing. You can
disable this by turning the 'unix extensions' option off.<br>
