Whoa, the terminology's confusing me there. Do you mean "Is there a way
to get bash to just call chdir() and avoid doing anything 'smart'?"
Yes... the 'nolinks' shell variable:
tick:~% bash
[bayern@tick bayern]$ nolinks=true
[bayern@tick bayern]$ cd cs490
[bayern@tick bayern.shawn.bayern]$ pwd
/home/classes/cs490/class/bayern.shawn.bayern
[bayern@tick bayern.shawn.bayern]$ cd ..
[bayern@tick class]$ pwd
/home/classes/cs490/class
