Are you talking about dotfiles from $HOME/? If some software update or random scripts starts manipulating my home directory like that I would prefer to know so I can avoid such software. > Also http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/symlinks That's a valid argument against the current implementation of symlinked directories. If you just symlink files and not directories, this wouldn't happen. For hardlinks, directory linking is even worse, since it leads to recursivity. That's why they are usually disabled. -- Fernando
