Hi All, we commonly use use many symbolic links in Solaris. In RH 7.1, 8.0 and 9.0 we see a limit to the depth of links. Can someone suggest how to work around this limit to help with our port from Solaris? Attached is a tar file with links and directories that demonstrates what we ran into. Just cd to directory d6 to see the limit. bash-2.05b$ bzcat mytestdir.tar.bz2 |tar xvf - mytestdir/ mytestdir/d2/ mytestdir/d2/d3/ mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/ mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/d5/ mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/d5/d6/ mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/d5/d6/mytestfile mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/d5/mytestfile mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/mytestfile mytestdir/d2/d3/mytestfile mytestdir/d2/mytestfile mytestdir/mytestfile tmp/mytestfile bash-2.05b$ cd mytestdir/d2/d3/d4/d5/ bash-2.05b$ cat mytestfile hello bash-2.05b$ cd d6/ bash-2.05b$ cat mytestfile cat: mytestfile: Too many levels of symbolic links bash-2.05b$ ls -l total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 jeismeie psclib 13 Sep 29 17:14 mytestfile -> ../mytestfile
