Public bug reported:

Found in current version in Xenial (4.3.11+dfsg-0ubuntu0.16.04.7). When
share's path is '/', symlinks do not work properly from Windows client.
Gives "Cannot Access" error.

To reproduce:

1. Install samba and related dependencies

apt install -y samba

2. Add a share at the end of the default file that uses '/' as the path:

[reproducer]
        comment = share
        browseable = no
        writeable = yes
        create mode = 0600
        directory mode = 0700
        path = /

3. Attempt to access a symlink somewhere within the path of the share
with a Windows client.

4. Receive "Windows cannot access..." related error
