Consider: # newfs /some/place/interesting # mount /some/place/interesting # cd /some/place/interesting # dump 0f - /usr | restore -rf - ... warning: cannot create hard link ./bin/ypchsh->./bin/chpass: Operation not permitted warning: cannot create hard link ./bin/ypchfn->./bin/chpass: Operation not permitted warning: cannot create hard link ./bin/ypchpass->./bin/chpass: Operation not permitted warning: cannot create hard link ./bin/chsh->./bin/chpass: Operation not permitted warning: cannot create hard link ./bin/chfn->./bin/chpass: Operation not permitted warning: cannot create hard link ./bin/yppasswd->./bin/passwd: Operation not permitted chpass and passwd are imutable, so the hardlink fails. I claim this is a bug. Can anybody think of a good reason to think of this as a desirable feature? Warner P.S. All the links should be created and then the mutable flags should be set, imho.
