file ~/core /suse/werner/core: symbolic link to `/dev/null' POSIXLY_CORRECT=1 file ~/core /suse/werner/core: character special

this is how it worksas read in src/file.c [... line 160 ff ...] #ifdef S_IFLNK flags |= getenv("POSIXLY_CORRECT") ? MAGIC_SYMLINK : 0; #endif [...] and I'll not go to change that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
