        In  FreeBSD 6.1 , there was created a directory named  /var .

a subdirectory named  var  by typing
                ln -s  /var/homes/me  var
        Then I checked it by typing 'ls -l  var' and got
                /compat/linux/var
as the destination of the link.  What is happening?  Is this a bug in
 FreeBSD 6.1 ?
