Does anyone out there have any idea why this is enforced??? It seems to me that it shouldn't matter how many links a file has, just as long as the user can access the file in whatever manner he has requested. After all, if a user wants to copy a file from his machine to another machine and does the uucp from his machine, he can always copy the file to another file if the original file does have more than one link.
