Standard behavior of Samba is to dereference symlinks on the server 
side, making them transparent to the clients.  In the case that the 
client claims to support symlinks, Samba will provide the actual link, 
allowing the client to do its own dereferencing.  You can disable this 
by turning the 'unix extensions' option off.
