My boss rebuilt our file server/other stuff server box for this term on FC12. The other night he did the updates and now samba isn't working right (it was working fine before the updates he said).
Our Windows clients are mounting the user share fine (domain clients, it mounts their user directory on login), but now they cannot follow the symlink in the share that points to the public area.
We have forced follow symlinks on, and tried unix extensions off, but neither fixed it. Any suggestions? I'm not bringing up much of interesting in searches. Thanks. |

> Any suggestions? Don't use Fedora for important server work? Unfortunately I don't know much about your specific problem. I've used Fedora enough to not trust it. |

lol. That's kinda what I've been thinking (that and don't update unless you need to), but I don't make the server distro and updating decisions. :P |

Too late for this suggestion, but: Always back up important configuration files. |

I have also had problems with FC12, truly I wouldnt use it as a server under any circumstances go with something like Slackware. If it has to be red hat tech based then something like Centos would be a better bet. |

Yep, centos is great for the redhat fans who want a free ride. At $FORTUNE_100 firm we are using SuSE enterprise server and find it extremely solid. Personally, at home and for side consulting jobs, I prefer ubuntu or debian - fedora is strictly for bleeding edge testers IMHO. |

I'm a Gentoo/Debian guy myself. :) Dunno why the boss likes to do FC rather than Centos...will have to ask if he's considered it... |
