Hi all,
 
I am a relative newbie to Linux/Unix adn am having an issue with symlinks.  I have a system where there are files and directories in user's home directories that are symlinked to a mounted filesystem (read only).  the problem is this:
 
If user 'Tom' navigates to /home/tom/symlinkdir/thisplace   - where symlinkdir is linked to /mnt/mountedserver
 
and issues a pwd, the returned value is
 
/mnt/mountedserver/thisplace (the absolute path)
 
If the user issues an echo $cwd command, the path /home/tom/symlinkdir/thisplace is returned (the relative path)
 
How can I set up RedHat Linux AS2.1 to show the relative path for pwd without aliasing it to 'echo $cwd'?
 
Thanks
Jeff
