Presuably also some flags - NOFOLLOW etc .... One thing I have wondered (which might be related to what rump expects) is whether namei could perform 'realpath' as part of its processing - at least optionally? At least as far as following symlinks and following "/../", the final path might still be relative (and thus start with ../). David -- David Laight: da...@l8s.co.uk
