>I never said anything about deleting syscalls, or changing other chunks of >the system to use it. The main objective was to allow an open (not in >O_CREAT mode) to be immune to symlinks, the other stuff was a 'gee, it >wouldn't be too hard to actually make it do something useful instead of >just returning an errno from open.' Then it's *STILL* a bad change, because the intent of symlinks aren't really files. Again: PLEASE BACK IT OUT. Or make the open fail with an error -- EMLINK or ELOOP seem reasonable. Although even then, I don't like it. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
