This seems peculiar behaviour to me: mkdir targ ln -s targ src ll -rt drwxr-xr-x 2 cwbspr2 wbspr2 4096 Dec 6 15:49 targ lrwxrwxrwx 1 cwbspr2 wbspr2 4 Dec 6 15:49 src -> targ
That's as expected but then if you try and create the symlink again you get the following: ln -s targ src ll targ/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 cwbspr2 wbspr2 4 Dec 6 15:50 targ -> targ i.e. inside the targ directory you get a targ symlink to targ. This surely isn't the expected behaviour. Can anyone explain this ?
