Re: ln -s in FreeBSD 6.1
If you typed ls -l var, that would display the contents of the var directory. I think what you want is (while in your home) ls -l | grep var On 7/18/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: In FreeBSD 6.1 , there was created a directory named /var .

What is happening? Is this a bug in FreeBSD 6.1 ? It looks as if you've got something weird going on with the linuxulator. * Can you check pkg_info | grep linux and see what you've got? * What shell are you using? Is it compiled natively for FreeBSD or did you install a Linux shell from rpm or something? * Please check file `which ln` to ensure it's a FreeBSD binary and not a Linux one. -- Bill Moran ZOE: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?
