Description Frantisek 2012-01-11 16:08:00 UTC 
Hello,
I have samba Linux server (version 3.6.0). I access it from Linux and MacOSX clients.
I can create a symlink pointing at the symlink itself at a mounted share, but I'm not allowed to remove the symlink after that.

How to reproduce the bug:
  $ cd /path/to/share
  $ ln -s file.link file.link
  ln: failed to create symbolic link 'file.link': Not a directory

But the symlink exists at the share!

  $ rm file.link
  rm: cannot remove 'file.link': Not a directory

Regards,
Frantisek
