James, The source permissions are the issue. Check the permissions and ownership on the source (as in ln -s <source> <target>). Symbolic links (targets) are always owned by root, but have permissions of 777. Regards, Patrick W. Freeman Systems Specialist DATAllegro, Inc ...

When I try to make a symbolic link from /home to /sda/home the users can't access their files since root owns the link. What is the best way to accomplish this?
