Hi!
I think I have found a bug in UML. Inside my guest Linux, I get
# ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 18 root root 801 Oct 21 13:04 /etc/passwd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev# ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 19 root root 801 Oct 21 13:04 /etc/passwd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev# ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 20 root root 801 Oct 21 13:04 /etc/passwd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev# ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 21 root root 801 Oct 21 13:04 /etc/passwd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev# ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 22 root root 801 Oct 21 13:04 /etc/passwd
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev# ls -l /etc/passwd
-rw-r--r-- 23 root root 801 Oct 21 13:04 /etc/passwd
This is wrong, because the link count of /etc/passwd is incremented each
time ls(1) is run. This also breaks the `useradd' and `adduser' programs,
because they use a file locking method which involves checking the
link count.
I use this version of UML:
# dpkg -l user-mode-linux
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)

Best regards,
Péter
