with smb.conf above Networkdrive is OK, but no wide links
to achive wide links I added as below, which works great since 4 years on pi4 and dietpi 8.25.2
the old connects and shows content at that moment I comment out the wide links = yes
please advise for the new pi5 system how to configure for wide links
to recap
on Buster pi4 the wide links are working great towards pi5 and Windows ← no issue there
on Bookworm pi5 the wide links tag prevents any samba functionality
imho the wide links tag is broken on Bookworm and need to be fixed
We don’t maintain SMB package as we use the official one from Debian Repository.
Things have changed between an old, outdated system (Buster) and a modern operating system (Bookworm). Security has been increased and some insecure functions may no longer work ootb. Perhaps you should take a look at the SMB documentation smb.conf(5) — samba-common-bin — Debian bookworm — Debian Manpages
Search for allow insecure wide links
yep, the bookworm man states on allow insecure wide links
… This option was added at the request of sites who had deliberately set Samba up in this way and needed to continue supporting this functionality without having to patch the Samba code. …
But it in bookworm it doesn’t work as described.
Anyway, thank you for the support and as OOTB issue I have to follow up in Debian forum.
