You cannot hard-link directories. Long ago and far away root could but it could cause havoc I seem to recall, the problem being the entries for "." and or ".." I think. If it was not so early in the morning I would work it out on a piece of paper.. :) Anyway what on earth are your trying to do ? The point of chroot is just that, you change the root of the file system from the point of view of the program within it, now you want to sneak things in from the outside under the cover of dark. Sounds highly like "not a good thing" to me. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
