UdmSearch: Links problem. identified it, but I dont get the code

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

I just identified my problem with symlinks on ftp protocol.
This code in ftp.c is most likely causing the problem:
case 'l':
ch = strstr (fname, " -> ");
if (!ch)
break;
ch +=4;
if (ch[0] == '.'){

len = len_h+len_p+strlen(ch);
udm_snprintf(buf_out+cur_len, len+1, "ftp://%s%s%s/\">",
connp->hostname, path, ch);
}else{
len = len_h+strlen(ch);
udm_snprintf(buf_out+cur_len, len+1, "ftp://%s%s/\">",
connp->hostname, ch);
}

...

What is the reason for checking for links to /^\./ files?
On our ftp, we use links to files starting with a . to avoid listing
the target paths in a normal ls.

Here is an example listing:
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root 0  51 Oct 13 15:26 solaris -> 
.mirror-sites/ftp.tuwien.ac.at/sun/solaris/packages/
drwxr-xr-x   2 705  1000 4096 Jun 22 14:15 ssl/
drwxr-xr-x   2 705  1000 4096 Nov  1 10:28 suse-linux/
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root 0  40 Oct 13 15:26 tex -> 
.mirror-sites/ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc2/ctan/
drwxr-xr-x   3 705  1000 4096 Nov  6 23:02 windows/


Does anyone understand why this check is done. And what
happens when it finds a link with a target of ^\..*
