IIRC correctly, POSIX requires that "foobar" and "foobar/" are treated equivalently here. There have been similar hurd bugs earlier. So it should be fixed. It's kind of natural to simply treat "foobar/" as just a different name for "foobar/.", and that will make the right thing happen in most cases. But not for rm/unlink. The reason that unlink is special is that it operates on the name itself, not on the inode that the name refers to. /Niels _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
