This matches what I expect to see. What do you expect to see here? You have symbolically linked demo to your /home/markus. Then you asked ls to list it in long format but not to recurse down. You added a trailing slash which says to resolve the symlink to destination first. The destination of demo is /home/markus. So it listed that. > Is there any good reason to keep that behaviour? Keep what behavior? You never said what you expected to see and us folks reading the bug list can't read your mind, you have to come right out and say it. Note that you should probably search the archives, starting here: http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-fileutils/2001-September/001933.html And http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-fileutils/2001-September/001944.html Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
