Description

I can disable the the ability to use symbolic links for files by setting skip-symbolic-links

I can test that this condition is on with the following query:

select @@have_symlink;

+----------------+

| @@have_symlink |

+----------------+

| DISABLED       |

+----------------+

This setting does not prevent the use of symbolic links. I have tested symbolic links for subdirectories of datadir and for individual files. I have tested the following versions:

10.5.12-8-MariaDB-enterprise
10.6.4-1-MariaDB-enterprise
10.5.12-MariaDB-1:10.5.12+maria~buster (community)
