Ok, I know this has very little to do with FreeBSD, but the tru64-hackers list is a little slow.... :)
Here's the situation: DEC Alpha 3000/500S box, running Compaq Tru64 UNIX V4.0F (formerly known as the operating system Digital Unix, which is the operating system formerly known as DEC OSF/1) -- plus Intersystems ISM 6.4-F.14.... In a nutshell, one of the drives is mounted as /usr2, and there's a directory in it /usr2/lab/fla. In /home, there's a sym link pointing from "/home/b -> /usr2"... So basically, /home/b/lab/fla SHOULD be the same as /usr2/lab/fla -- file comparisons between these two directories show that they are. However -- if you cd into /usr2/lab/fla, then run the ISM application, it gives different results than if you cd into /home/b/lab/fla. (ISM is dealing with files in ".", for all intents and purposes.) Instead of digging through billions of man pages for a function that might not even be used in the program, does anybody know of any calls that (optionally) don't handle files arrived at through sym links correctly? Intersystems really doesn't have an idea -- got another conference call with them (and probably Digital) in the morning... It would be nice to have some possible solutions. Thanks...
