I have used Linux the past five years, and Various flavors of Unix for more than 20. I now see a new behavior for symbolically linked directories:
Suppose in your home directory you create the link: % ln -s /usr/local/share/math math
From the % sign I'm guessing you're using C shell, is that right? In /etc/csh.cshrc (or your local .cshrc) you can change the value of symlinks, by default it is "set symlinks=ignore", you may want to set it to "chase". See 'man csh' for the details In bash, you can uncomment the line "set -P" in /etc/bash.bashrc (or, again, put that line in your user's $HOME/.bashrc to make a local change for just that user). 'man bash' has the details for that Since 'cd' is a shell builtin, this is not a linux thing, it is a shell thing
