Hi all, I am a relative newbie to Linux/Unix adn am having an issue with symlinks. I have a system where there are files and directories in user's home directories that are symlinked to a mounted filesystem (read only). the problem is this: If user 'Tom' navigates to /home/tom

I wonder if there is a way in RH8 to find out where all the symlinks are? I was thinking there might be a command somehow, through one of the utilities such as 'find' or 'whereis', or 'locate' etc.. that might just be able to list all the symlinks one might have on their system. Maybe

is there a simple explanation for how symlinks are treated under NFS? here's what i'm after. with each release of red hat, i immediately copy the CD directory trees under a main directory structure, but keep each CD tree separate to distinguish between them, so i'll end up with a top level
