Re: [Integrit-users] symlink behavior?

[Alex G. <ago...@le...>]

Thanks for your reply.  I'm looking at the latest version (3.02), and
the documentation refers to checking the mode on symlinks, but it
doesn't say whether it will follow or dereference directory symlinks.
I'd say this is an important piece of information for a filesystem tool.

Thanks for your help.
