Thanks very much Grant for the test. Could you try a symlink to a file ? And while we're at it, would you like to try to add "|S_IFLNK" to mnt->dir_mode ? If my suggestion was stupid, at least let's test it to full extent ;-) I had another idea looking at the code but since I really don't know it, I would not like to propose random changes till this magically works. I'd wait for Dann who understood the code. Best regards, Willy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
