Hmmm, won't that break the behavior on dangling symlinks? here's the coreutils 5.94 behavior: $ mkdir d $ cd d $ ln -s nowhere x $ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 eggert eggert 7 Feb 26 01:17 x -> nowhere $ ls -L ls: x: No such file or directory I haven't tried the patch, but from your description of it it sounds like the output of the last command would be "x", which doesn't sound right to me. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
