Description Bill Nottingham 2005-08-24 14:22:28 UTC 
$ mkdir foo
$ ln -s foo bar
$ echo "readlink ./bar" | /sbin/nash --quiet
/home/notting/tmp/foo
$ echo "readlink bar" | /sbin/nash --quiet
error realpath bar/foo: 2

The second *should* work, AFAIK.
Comment 1 Peter Jones 2006-02-27 16:50:42 UTC 
"bar" and "./bar" should work now.  Note that "bar/." will still not expand.
