On Windows all AFS symlinks are created using the tool symlink.exe make <direntry> <target> There is no method to create a symlink using Cygwin. All my symlinks are created on AFS by a Linux client. > I experience this error for all symlinks. > Does it work for you when you use the "/cygdrive/DriveLetter" syntax? The > "/afs/" syntax does not work for me in Cygwin environment (Windows Client > 1.5.75 on XP). It is not /afs/..., it is //afs/.... That is how Cygwin references UNC paths. bash-3.2# pwd /cygdrive/x/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman bash-3.2# ls sysinternals ADExplorer.exe Desktops.exe LogonSessions.exe SIEExtPub.zip Works fine.
