How do you make samba follow symlink outside the shared path

Edit smb.conf

[global]
unix extensions = no

[share]
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes

Note: If you're using a newer version of samba the following may work for you instead:

[global]
allow insecure wide links = yes

[share]
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes

documentation on follow symlinks and wide links flags: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch08.html#samba2-CHP-8-TABLE-1

Alternatively to the other answers, to keep the unix extensions enabled, it is possible to use:

[global]
allow insecure wide links = yes

[share]
follow symlinks = yes
wide links = yes

Greetings, I've tried putting this into configuration to fix symlinks for windows for my setup , but I am not sure if it will affect windows client, otherwise it follows symlinks when I connect to this box.

[global]                                                                        
unix extensions = no
