If I create a Samba share (eg directly in /etc/samba/smb.conf) I can enable following of symlinks (for just that share) with:<br>    follow symlinks = yes<br>    wide links = yes<br>    unix extensions = no<br><br>When instead added to a usershare (ie in /var/lib/samba/usershares/myshare) this doesn&#39;t seem to work. Indeed, these files seem very &quot;fussy&quot;; just moving lines around or leaving lines commented out (with # or ;) seems to break the share completely. However I can&#39;t find them documented anywhere (nor indeed can I find usershare_acl properly documented anywhere).<br>

<br>So: Is there a way to have a usershare with the ability to follow symlinks (without globally enabling them, which is what I&#39;ve done so far)? Is there some documentation I&#39;m missing that explains how these work?<br>

<br>I can see why allowing users to enable that functionality may not be wanted, but on the other hand having to enable it globally doesn&#39;t seem like the best alternative. Should I just add my share to smb.conf and be done with it?<br>
