Working on the next version of mergemaster I'm fixing the problem of /.cshrc and /.profile being hard links to their counterparts in /root. I'm aware of the reasons to link the files in the first place, however I'm a little fuzzy on the reasons that they are _hard_ links, as opposed to soft links. Completely aside from the fact that soft links would make _my_ life easier, does anyone know the hysterical raisins for the current behavior? I'd like to put a blurb about it in the mm manpage if nothing else. Thanks, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
