Hi,
There seems to be a problem with making a hard link to a directory, the man
page says that it should be possible, but it's not.
When I try with "ln -d /old /new" I get:-
"ln: creating hard link `/new' to `/old': Operation not permitted"
This is as root, and regardless of where in the filesytem the target and
link are.
I've tried on 4.0 on a redhat machine and 4.1 on debian sid - with identical
results.
Regards
Edward Marden
