+ <listitem><para>This parameter allows the Samba administrator

+ <manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> from following symbolic
+ links in a particular share. Setting this
+ parameter to <constant>no</constant> prevents any file or directory
+ that is a symbolic link from being followed (the user will get an

+ symbolic link to <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/passwd</filename> in their home
+ directory for instance. However it will slow filename lookups
+ down slightly.</para>

+ <para>This option is enabled (i.e. <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will
