	<para>
	This parameter allows the Samba administrator to stop <citerefentry><refentrytitle>smbd</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>	from following symbolic links in a particular share. Setting this 
	parameter to <constant>no</constant> prevents any file or directory that is a symbolic link from being 
	followed (the user will get an 	error).  This option is very useful to stop users from adding a symbolic 
	link to <filename moreinfo="none">/etc/passwd</filename> in their home directory for instance.  However 
	it will slow filename lookups down slightly.
	</para>

	<para>
	This option is enabled (i.e. <command moreinfo="none">smbd</command> will follow symbolic links) by default.
