I doubt very much it was a symbolic link - he said it showed up in the
'ls' listing as a real directory.  Also, you can easily remove a
symbolic link.  I think it was a real link (only possible under 4.2 when
running as root, and VERY dangerous).

Oh - yes, symbolic links are delightful (and not in the sense you meant
it, either).
