I'm sure this should be easy but I'm getting nowhere with Google...
I've created a directory, /backup, which contains symlinks to a number of directories I want to backup across the network (eg /var/lib/mysql is symlinked into that dir).
I need to create a samba share which provides read access to all files in that directory. So far I have: [backups] comment = Backups force group = root force user = root path = /backups writeable = no
.. but the contents of the directories (like /var/lib/mysql) are not accessible.
What am I doing wrong?
