>I agree that the possible keys (ie, variable names) for symbolic >links should not be something that's fixed at system build time. I sure don't agree with that. I also think Jordan's desire to have symlinks translated with the user environment is either not attainable or undesirable or both. I personally would rather that the info be kept in a seperate name table (like what Terry suggested). I also prefer to have a hierarchical structure (also like Terry suggested, except that I'd have the system table as a seperate autonomous thing and not attached to the init process). -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
