- Subject: Symlink handling changed in latest CVS
This is a heads up so that hopefully this issue can be resolved before
1.3.19. I just updated from CVS this morning and noticed that symlink
handling is different in at least one context:
$ rxvt -e slogin localhost # fails unless pwd = /usr/bin
$ rxvt -e /usr/bin/slogin localhost # succeeds regardless of pwd
Note that slogin is a symlink:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/slogin
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administ Domain U 20 Dec 3 08:28 /usr/bin/slogin -> ./ssh.exe
I did not have this problem with CVS from 2002/12/31.
