Hello all,
I will report to all that restore command doesn't restore the
property of symbolic link at all, that is owner, group,
permissions and utime.
Yamazaki-san first reported this issue on USENET at
fj.os.bsd.freebsd. So I'm Cc'ing he and thread participater.
I will propose below quick patch. How do you feel ?
My environment is FreeBSD 4.3RC (today). Sorry I don't have
current environment.
Thanks !
