Fwiw that's not how hard links work, at least UFS semantics permissions such as ext2 etc. Hard links are links to the same inode and permissions are associated with the file. There are other filesystems out there though. AFS for example associates permissions with directories. -- greg -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
