Dear Rogier & Terry,I didn't say the behaviour contradicts Posix.2. I just said that Posix.2 specifies removal of the trailing slashes when doing directory operation. Which, for example, freebsd 'rm' does not, which leads to a strange behaviour. As I stated, I have tryied this on more than one other OS (OpenBSD 2.9, 3.0, Linux, HP UX 10.20, Solaris 2.7, 2.8), and all yelded the same result (different from the FreeBSD). Also, I quote from the FreeBSD man page of 'rm': "The rm utility removes symbolic links, not the files referenced by the links." Greetings, bogdan On Wed, 10 Apr 2002, Rogier R.
