	<para>This parameter controls whether or not links 
	in the UNIX file system may be followed by the server. Links 
	that point to areas within the directory tree exported by the 
	server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only 
	to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported.</para>

	<para>Note: Turning this parameter on when UNIX extensions are enabled
	will allow UNIX clients to create symbolic links on the share that
	can point to files or directories outside restricted path exported
	by the share definition. This can cause access to areas outside of
	the share. Due to this problem, this parameter will be automatically
	disabled (with a message in the log file) if the
	<smbconfoption name="unix extensions"/> option is on.
	</para>
	<para>
	See the parameter <smbconfoption name="allow insecure wide links"/>
	if you wish to change this coupling between the two parameters.
	</para>
