It's not correct.
The function rename() can be used instead of link().
Even qmail uses link(), but now it is working without problems using
rename().
This is the work done by kbo to patch his vpopmail to work with coda
int safe_rename(char *old, char *new)
{
#ifndef ENABLE_CODA
return(rename(old, new));
#else
link(old, new);
unlink(old);
#endif
Please let me know what do you think about. :)
