Hi,

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature.

If I create a symlink to a directory

> ls
code  code2
> ln -s code test

and then try to relink it
> ln -sf code2 test

In linux using gnu-fileutils a link is created in code called code2
pointing to code2. On a Compaq Tru64 machine, the standard ln gives an
error message. I assume one is doing the wrong thing? What does the POSIX
standard say?

Jeremy
