unix extensions

This boolean parameter controls whether Samba
implements the CIFS UNIX extensions, as defined by HP.
These extensions enable Samba to better serve UNIX CIFS clients
by supporting features such as symbolic links, hard links, etc...
These extensions require a similarly enabled client, and are of
no current use to Windows clients.

Note if this parameter is turned on, the
parameter will automatically be disabled.


See the parameter
if you wish to change this coupling between the two parameters.

Supported on: At least Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 family
