IMHO that's wrong. ln also creates a hardlink of a symlink if that points to a file: $ touch f $ ln -s f flink $ ln -n flink flink-n $ ls -li total 0 192387 -rw-r----- 1 ecs ecs 0 2011-11-21 08:50 f 192388 lrwxrwxrwx 2 ecs ecs 1 2011-11-21 08:51 flink -> f 192388 lrwxrwxrwx 2 ecs ecs 1 2011-11-21 08:51 flink-n -> f Have a nice day, Berny
