I have install NFS on NW6.5 and export it for UNIX manchine to mount in
a test environment.
a test environment.
It seems to me that Netware cannot handle symblic link in Windows client.
Here is what I did:
1. create a "a.pdf"
2. create symblic link a.pdf to b.pdf
3. view from UNIX both a.pdf and b.pdf are OK
4. use Windows client, to view a.pdf is ok, but not for b.pdf
Any solution for this problem?

Windows doesn't support the concept of symbolic links. That's why they
had to invent .lnk files.

Yep, I know windows doesn't support symbolic link, but there are
otherways of implementation that maybe more user friendly, like NetApp,
it will show the real content of the symbolic link file, ie. it will
have 2 identical files there, a.pdf and b.pdf are identical shown in
Windows (using my previous example). User will not notices the difference.

This has to be fixed in Windows and not NFS on NetWare ...
