I faced the hard link problem in another package (bug still restricted) recently. I'm about to push the fix out but I just want check what I've done is okay. The init script used to call chown/chmod -R, which is obviously bad. I've compromised by only calling these on the directories themselves (ignoring symlinks). I believe this is safe because it's not possible to create hard linked directories these days? Would you agree? -- James Le Cuirot (chewi) Gentoo Linux Developer
