If I go into the /opt directory on jill and do this: ln -s /mnt/jack/opt/files . If the above (of mine) is correct, then you have: jill:/mnt/jack/opt/files == jack:/opt/opt/files - this also makes no sense. I get /opt/files/files on jill.

Still, why you would get /opt/files/files is a mystery to me, too. HTH. mhr ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
