yes, you need to use the -d parameter:

ln -d sourcedir targetname

Although you might want to try the nicer (well I think so!) symbolic link
of:

ln -s -d sourcedir targetname

Unless you have a specific reason to hardlink the symbolic link is probably
your best bet

Subject: [cobalt-users] [RaQ2] can't link directory - need advice


I just tried to link a web directory to another site so that a virtual site
w/ shared IP can be seen before the Internic changes go through.

I wanted site45's web directory to link to main.domain.or.ip/abc.  Here's
what I entered as root in telnet:

ln /home/sites/site45/web /home/sites/home/abc

this is the response:

ln: /home/sites/site45/web: hard link not allowed for directory

Anyone know how to enable linking for this directory?
