Along the same lines...
How do you get a symbolic link to be recognized server-wide, rather
than in just one directory?
Like, say I wanted to install something in /usr/bin and didn't want to
have to type /usr/bin/myprogram everytime I wanted to access the
program.
I've tried making a symbolic link ln -s /usr/bin/myprogram myprogram
in the / directory of the server, but if I move out of that directory
at all then typing in 'myprogram' doesn't work.
I've read man ls and didn't see anything about recursive, can I do a
ln -R -s /usr/bin/myprogram myprogram, or is there a different way
(srm.conf maybe?) to do it?
