Is there a particular reason why there's no capability for setting flags on symlinks? the chflags syscall uses namei with FOLLOW, and changing this to NOFOLLOW allows chflags(2) to Do What I Want (i.e. SF_IMMUTABLE on a VLNK) is there a filesystem train crash awaiting me for doing this, or am I in the clear? I realise it changes the semantics of chflags(1) so an alternative syscall or a follow/nofollow boolean addition to struct chflags_args is better than this hack. regards joshua To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
