Switch to user's home directory ("cd /usr/home/username") ... from now onwards, work in this directory: Create a symbolic link from inside a user's home ("ln -s /whatever .") Execute this: ("chown -R username:username whatever") Try to delete it using ("rm whatever")... it will say it is a directory. It is still not deleted! Then, try to delete using ("rm -r -f whatever/"), no errormessage, BUT It is still there! Then, again, try the same thing ("rm whatever")... It is GONE, INCLUDING the original at "/whatever" !!! >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
