From: utzoo!henry Newsgroups: net.bugs.v7 Title: ln -f Article-I.D.: utzoo.2859 Posted: Tue Mar 8 21:49:37 1983 Received: Tue Mar 8 21:49:37 1983 The ln(1) command has an undocumented -f option, which makes it possible to link to directories, the kernel permitting (which it doesn't unless you are superuser). The ln(1) manual page should show this.
