Thanks, Corinna,
Unfortunately for me this is infeasible. Samba is run
here on a Solaris box and I am not root.
But now I know at least what is going on.
Thanks again.

Uh, I see. Setup doesn't create symlinks as shortcuts. It still uses
the old system file method to create symlinks. The system bit must be
mapped by samba to get this right. If you're interested to get it
working, see `man smb.conf' on your Linux box and search for "map system".

Hello, Corinna,
Symlinks form the installation are created as ordinary
files, ie. instead of eg.
lrwxrwxrwx .... ld.exe -> /usr/bin/ld.exe
I get
-rw-r--r-- ... ld.exe
Unfortunately, I deleted the other files.

Can you elaborate on this? What means they "don't work"? I can create
symlinks on my samba share fine and they also work so the above is not
very useful information. Magic formula: "Simple testcase".

It would be helpful if Jurgen posted the output of getfacl on both the
working and the non-working links. I suspect this could be the same
problem as the one reported earlier, with shortcuts on SMB drives not
having the proper readonly attribute.

Can you elaborate on this? What means they "don't work"? I can create
symlinks on my samba share fine and they also work so the above is not
very useful information. Magic formula: "Simple testcase".

Hello,
I noticed this before, but since the solution is simple,
though a little bit annoying, I did not mention it.
I think this is also only an issue for people who use
cygwin from a shared drive, and the shared drive
comes from Samba, not native Windows.
Anyhow, I have to recreate manually all symbolic
links, and I have to delete all Windows shortcuts
from my directories, because they do not work.
Regards,
Jurgen
