Hello SuSE users,
While searching for files in /usr/bin I noticed something that seems odd to me. There is a folder in there named X11.
Yes, the /usr/bin/X11 DIRECTORY has been a standard path for well over 20 years now for all standard X11 utilities.
It is a link to the same folder. If you open it, it shows the exact same thing as /usr/bin. You can continue opening the X11 directory until you have a /usr/bin//X11/X11/X11/X11 file open on ad-infitum. They all show the exact same files and megabytes. What is this?
Because it's a symbolic link pointing back at itself... However, /usr/bin/X11 isn't supposed to be one....
Can somebody explain the purpose?
No, because /usr/bin/X11 is supposed to point at /usr/X11R6/bin. do the following: $ su password: # cd /usr/bin # rm X11 # ln ../X11R6/bin X11 # exit $ ls -al /usr/bin/X11 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 2006-12-26 /usr/bin/X11 -> ../X11R6/bin
