Problem in sharing Symlink via NFS
Hi,

I have created symlink under /.
It is /latest Pointing to /home/users/neel_prog_V1.0.
(Note: I have created this symlink so that when version get changed I will need to change only symlink instead of doing changes in /etc/exports.)

I have shared this symlink with NFS. in /etc/exports I have added following line:

/latest *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

but when I do showmount -e it shows:

/home/users/neel_prog_V1.0

I want such that it should show /latest. So that when I should mount server:/latest on any nfs client.

How can I do this ?

Thanks

NAME

       PerlIO::via::symlink - PerlIO layers for create symlinks

SYNOPSIS

	open $fh, '>:via(symlink)', $fname;
	print $fh "link foobar";
	close $fh;

DESCRIPTION

       The PerlIO layer "symlink" allows you to create a symbolic link by writing to the file handle.

       You need to write C"link $name" to the file handle. If the format does not match, "close" will fail with EINVAL.
