Index of Subjects Hi Mark, A shell account is currently required to create symlinks. Tech Michael Smith was going to devise a Lynxable symlink creator (much like the file permissions changer) but we envisioned (feared!) potentially thousands (millions?) of symlinks going everywhere and the ensuing server usage and performance hit, not to mention the tons of broken links when people would simply wipe out their various pages yet leave the symlinks there to confound visitors. The Internet is full of those right now. ----------------- On Fri, 23 Jun 2000, Mark Rushton wrote: > Andrew told me to "just put in a symlink" ... what the hell's a > symlink?
