Symlinks on a web server are evil. It hurt. Don't do that! Period!!! You can use symlinks during the build process, as we always do. But never use symbolic links to a directory on a web server. >> You did 1 year a go a re-organization of the doc tree with the long >> directory names (en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq) Several people objected >> and it was a long flame war.

This is not true. You already changed the directory structure of the web server. Your changes are not thought through. -Wolfram -- Wolfram Schneider http://wolfram.schneider.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
