BIT SCRAPPY HERE BUT you can see the com,and I used -- sudo ln -sf /home/dan /home/dan/mount <-linkname

/home/dan is the target

 

but in /home/dan/mount I get "dan"

I would expect it to be the directory contents of /home/dan (I listed it a bit below)

 

 

dan@seq:~/mount/dan$ cd /home/dan

dan@seq:~$ sudo ln -sf /homedan /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~$ sudo ln -sf /home/dan /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~$ cd /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~/mount$ ls

dan  homedan

dan@seq:~/mount$ cd /home/dan

dan@seq:~$ ls -l mount

total 0

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2012-01-07 13:01 dan -> /home/dan

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 2012-01-07 13:01 homedan -> /homedan

dan@seq:~$ sudo ln -sf /home/dan /home/dan/mount^C

dan@seq:~$ ls -ld /home/dan/mount

drwxr-xr-x 2 dan dan 4096 2012-01-07 13:01 /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~$ sudo ln -sf /home/dan /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~$ cd /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~/mount$ ls

dan  homedan

dan@seq:~/mount$ sudo ln -sf /home/dan /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~/mount$ ls -ld /home/dan/mount

drwxr-xr-x 2 dan dan 4096 2012-01-07 13:08 /home/dan/mount

dan@seq:~/mount$ i just set up "homedan" there by mistake

The program 'i' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:

sudo apt-get install iprint

dan@seq:~/mount$ can't figure out when I go to /home/dan/mount I get a directory "dan" --- I would expect it to have the CONTENTS of the directory /home/dan

> ^C

dan@seq:~/mount$ cd /home/dan

dan@seq:~$ ls
