When you set cifs.symlinks.enable to On (the default setting), if the object
being accessed by a CIFS client is a symbolic link, the filer follows the link with the
condition that the ultimate target turns out to reside within the originating share. This
ensures that the client has access permission to the target. This applies both to rela-
tive symbolic links (links to paths beginning with a character other than / and treated
as a path relative to the parent directory of the symbolic link) and absolute symbolic
links (links to paths beginning with / and treated as a path relative to the root of the
file system). For more information about this option, refer to Managing Symbolic
Links for CIFS Access in Chapter 5.
