What you really want is ls -ld of the directory. For example, $ ls -ld /var/spool drwxr-xr-x 17 root wheel 512 Aug 12 1998 /var/spool The second field (17 here) is the link count. I'd expect to see 32767 in your case. If it's less, we can go back into head-scratching mode. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
