I have a question with a rather obvious answer to ask you, and then one with a slightly less obvious answer. The first might be construed as a complaint, which it is. Shouldn't you be able to remove a soft-link to a directory without it following the link? Yes. Why in God's name does FreeBSD's default ln follow soft links to directories? The copy of ln that ships with FreeBSD will make a soft link to a directory a hard link. I want to know why. -- ( "Phase it out until the older ones return, have a seat and watch it burn." ) ( -Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) **** vile@usmo.com * http://www.usmo.com/~vile ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
