tlug: Strange NFS behavior

["Andrew S. Howell" <andy@example.com>]

Here is a strange one. On a Solaris 2.5.1 machine with an automounted
file system from the my RH 5.0 box, I can't resolve symbolic links. On
the Solaris box, it looks like the link do not point to anything:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 andy     users         13 Mar  3 22:14 alloca-conf.h@

But on the linux box, which is the NFS server, its fine

lrwxrwxrwx   1 andy     users          13 Mar  3 22:14 alloca-conf.h
-> alloca-norm.h

In the middle of writting this, I manually unmounted the volume. When
it remounted, my link was resolved. Hmmmm 

Any ideas what might be happening?

Thanks,

	Andy
