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
