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

15 <para>
16 This option is enabled (i.e. <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will follow symbolic links) by default.
