As I understand it, AT&T are using SUN's hashed up
multiple-system-f*cked-up-symbolic-everything filesystem.

Have you ever tried to access it over a network.
None of the symlinks works out right (This was from an HP 9000 to a SUN386i).


Now take a look at HP's Context Dependent Files. Much cleaner, easier to
maintain, aestetically please. Also now part of OSF. Coming to a system near
you Real Soon Now.
