>smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed >=================================================== > >A bug in smbclient caused the 'symlink' command to reverse the >meaning of the new name and link target parameters when creating a >reparse point symlink against a Windows server. > >This only affects using the smbclient 'symlink' command against >a Windows server, not a Samba server using the UNIX extensions >(the parameter order is correct in that case) so no existing >user scripts that depend on creating symlinks on Samba servers >need to change. > >As this is a little used feature the ordering of these parameters >has been reversed to match the parameter ordering of the UNIX >extensions 'symlink' command. This means running 'symlink' against >both Windows and Samba now uses the same paramter ordering in both >cases. > >The usage message for this command has also been improved to remove confusion. >
