I am operating in a file server environment where the file server can be
accessed by both linux and windows.
I make a tree on this file server in linux which includes some soft links.
I then accessed this same tree via the windows system using cygwin.
What I found is that the unix soft links are sort of working. BASH can see
them for file completion, but I can't delete them or cd into the directory
that they point to.
I am not sure how this should work. It would be real nice if the unix soft
links would work just like the cygwin soft links.
