ache 97/05/15 01:46:58 Modified: usr.sbin/mtree mtree.c Log: Change FTS_PHYSICAL (not follow symlinks but return them) to FTS_LOGICAL (follow symlinks and return their targets) Because 1) In the real system there is a lot of symlinks nowdays over /var, /spool, etc. Mtree can't do anything for them, i.e. change permissions/owner. I.e. if you have /var/mail -> /somewhere it will never be changed to group "mail" 775 like -current does now, symlink totally confuses mtree. 2) Mtree can't deal with symlinks properly in any case (they are created separately in other places now), so we lost no functionality by making them invisible for mtree. Revision Changes Path 1.5 +1 -1 src/usr.sbin/mtree/mtree.c
