Actually I believe that root is allowed to create arbitrary hard links to directories in Unix, so it's possible to turn the file system in to a general graph. It's highly unrecommended, though, because it confuses the heck out of programs that recursively traverse directories (which is why only root is allowed to do it). -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
