I wish to confirm that this is intended behaviour; that a single symbolic link can have differing target files depending whether one is in a jail or not. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
