<samba:parameter name="follow symlinks"

<description>
<para>
This parameter allows the Samba administrator to stop <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> from following symbolic links in a particular share. Setting this
parameter to <constant>no</constant> prevents any file or directory that is a symbolic link from being
followed (the user will get an error). This option is very useful to stop users from adding a symbolic
link to <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/passwd</filename> in their home directory for instance. However
it will slow filename lookups down slightly.
</para>
<para>
This option is enabled (i.e. <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will follow symbolic links) by default.
