+<description>
+ <para>This parameter controls whether or not links
+ in the UNIX file system may be followed by the server. Links
+ that point to areas within the directory tree exported by the
+ server are always allowed; this parameter controls access only
+ to areas that are outside the directory tree being exported.</para>
+
+ <para>Note: Turning this parameter on when UNIX extensions are enabled
+ will allow UNIX clients to create symbolic links on the share that
+ can point to files or directories outside restricted path exported
+ by the share definition. This can cause access to areas outside of
+ the share. Due to this problem, this parameter will be automatically
+ disabled (with a message in the log file) if the
+ <smbconfoption name="unix extensions"/> option is on.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ See the parameter <smbconfoption name="allow insecure wide links"/>
+ if you wish to change this coupling between the two parameters.
