Jeremy “Samba” Allison has been promising a talk on the evils of symlinks <https://forums.theregister.com/forum/containing/4433822> at the next SambaXP conference, but I gather that’s not until the end of May.
Took a few days, but the videos from the conference are finally online <https://www.youtube.com/c/SAMBAplus/videos> (apparently happened “20 hours ago” as of this writing). I assume the one he was referring to is entitled “The UNIX Filesystem API is profoundly broken -- what to about it”. I see another, related one called “Symlink races for dummies and how to deal with them”.
