This should work if you just specify lp1 rather than lp0 in your setup. However, to answer your last question: SYMBOLIC links can be displayed just by doing an 'ls -l': the first character on the line will be 'l' (rather than '-', 'd', 'b', 'c', etc.), and there will be an arrow [->] at the end, followed by the name of the item to which the link is pointing. HARD links can be displayed by doing an 'ls -li'. The numbers in the first column (the inode numbers) must be identical; all the rest of the identifying information must be identical; and the numbers in the third column (the link count) must be greater then one. -- Joe Yao jsdy@cais.com - Joseph S.
