I run a small network for Unix and C/C++ /Unix classes in the computer training company. When I installed FreeBSD 2.1R I didn't care about the way it mounted directories on my drive but now one of the instructors told me that students confused with the way their home directories appear. You see, He said, /usr/home and /home are linked together and when they login they see /usr/home/name and when they say cd they see /home/name. Anybody have an idea how to break thiis link without destroying directory tree??? Thank you for any suggestions. Alex alitvak@shrike.depaul.edu
