Lots of systems do that, I expect. Solaris 10 does, for example. This is either with Solaris rmdir or coreutils 5.3.0 rmdir. I wouldn't be surprised if core commands other than mv and rmdir are affected by this issue as well. rm and ln come to mind, though I haven't tested them. Here's a transcript on Solaris 10 (sparc) with coreutils 5.3.0: 1018-otter $ ls -l total 2 drwxrwxr-x 2 eggert faculty 512 2005-09-28 15:18 dir lrwxrwxrwx 1 eggert faculty 3 2005-09-28 15:18 symlink -> dir 1019-otter $ rmdir symlink/ 1020-otter $ ls -l total 1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 eggert faculty 3 2005-09-28 15:18 symlink -> dir _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
