/tmp -> / ? Is that supposed to be there?
-
Hi, I am sure this is a dumb question but if I don't ask I'll never know.
On my 1.2.1, I have this is /tmp:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1 Dec 30 19:56 tmp -> /
Why does that link to the root? Is that normal? I removed it to see what happened and it came back on it's own.
edit: I think I had to reboot to get it back. Not going to try that right now but I think that was what happened.

code that creates that says:
# Setup compatibility link for packages that # have trouble overriding the PREFIX configure # argument since we build our packages in a # seperated PREFIX area # Only create if symlink does not exist. if [ ! -h /tmp/tmp ]; then ln -hfs / /tmp/tmp
-
So that would be a 'yes'.
It just looked odd to me, just wanted to make sure it wasn't something weird.
