I noticed some strange symbolic link behavior while trying to build/install jakarta-tomcat: I don't know if this is a bug but here goes:
$ pwd /tmp/test $ ls $ mkdir dir1 $ mkdir dir1/dir2 $ ln -s /tmp/test/dir1/dir2 /tmp/test/dir2 $ ls -Rl .: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 bclark bclark 4096 Jan 25 12:25 dir1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 bclark bclark 19 Jan 25 12:27 dir2 -> /tmp/test/dir1/dir2 ./dir1: total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 bclark bclark 4096 Jan 25 12:25 dir2 ./dir1/dir2: total 0 $ cd dir2 $ pwd /tmp/test/dir2 $ ls -l .. total 4 drwxr-xr-x 2 bclark bclark 4096 Jan 25 12:25 dir2 $ cd .. $ pwd /tmp/test $ How come ls .. does not list the contents of the directory I go to when I do a cd .. ? _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
