Just as a guess, turn off unix extensions ("unix extensions = no")
in the [global] section of your smb.conf and then restart smbd.
While that will probably do the trick the piece of sh*t that is the Mac
OSX smb client can still do wacko things with symbolic links regardless.
I know for certain for example that loading the tsmsm vfs module causes
at least the 10.6 client to "think" the server on the other end is a
Unix one and behave differently in it's handling of symbolic links!!!
Then there is the whole Minshall+French symbolic link weirdness where if
a perfectly valid such link is created outside the Mac OSX client
(version I forget) it takes the client some random amount of time (at
least several minutes) for it to recognise that it is actually a symlink
it should follow.
In short the Mac OSX smb clients are a steaming pile of dinosaur
droppings which have subtly different behaviour between at least the
following versions 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7 that makes a working
configuration for all of them very difficulty to achieve.
Fortunately I no longer have to support them :-)
