Hi,

there seems to be a change from 1.5 to 1.7 when processing junctions
(reparse points). This was already discussed here but I want to point to
an issue when accessing them via SMB.

Both hosts have a local junction from d:\temp to c:\temp.

SMB connection goes from host1 to host2 (identical account, using
admin shared like c$, d$)


Results on 1.5:

user AT host1 ~
$ ls -la //host2/d\$/temp

=> shows the content of c:\temp on host_2_ (as expected)


Results on 1.7:
user AT host1 ~
$ ls -l //host2/d\$/temp
lrwxrwxrwx (...) //host2/d$/temp -> /cygdrive/c/temp

=> resolves the local junction of host_2_ but translates it to the
local junction of host_1_, losing the UNC part ("//host2/").


Shouldn't this be parsed to //host2/c\$/temp as with Cygwin 1.5?


Regards,
	Mario

$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-6.0-WOW64 host1 1.7.5(0.225/5/3)
