  • I think you are correct. I tried: mkdir /net/share/d; ln -s /net/share/d symlink and this worked. So I consider the first question answered! Commented Aug 25, 2012 at 17:46
  • Well, the answer to your second question is no, unless you tell Samba to use a different local user or map the Samba user to a different unix user. Commented Aug 25, 2012 at 18:37
  • I know this is a fairly old question, but its worth the try: I am having this problem too. I am trying to link from one share to another, with two different users. All my folders and files shared by samba have 755 permissions. When you say that permissions are to blame, what do you mean? Is there some requirement that the user should have access either through owner or group? Commented Jan 24, 2013 at 12:39
  • ubuntu 22 + Windows 11 - neither of that works: links aren't shown. Commented Oct 25, 2022 at 14:57
