Yep, already tried the obvious ;) no difference :(
2.4.33.5 onwards also have a problem with symlinks, but it is slightly
different presentation, the directory symlinks appear as normal files.
With 2.4.33.7 one is able to create file and directory symlinks, though
the links appear as files. Content problem as noted by OP:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ uname -r
2.4.33.7
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ cat file
this is a test
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ cat filelink
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ mkdir directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ ln -s directory directorylink
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ cp file* directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ ls directory
file* filelink*
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/other$ ls directorylink
directorylink*
Now, WinXP sees the contents of directorylink:
X:\>cd directorylink
X:\directorylink>dir
Volume in drive X is other
Volume Serial Number is 107E-052F
Directory of X:\directorylink
2007-01-18 16:36 <DIR> .
2007-01-18 16:33 <DIR> ..
2007-01-18 16:36 15 file
2007-01-18 16:36 4 filelink
2 File(s) 19 bytes
2 Dir(s) 2,558,922,752 bytes free
X:\directorylink>type file
this is a test
X:\directorylink>type filelink
this
X:\directorylink>
