Hi,
I apologize for a trivial question but that's because I yet have not much experience
with Linux.
I made, some time ago, a copy of the smb.conf file, for security reasons, before making to
it any changes:
(cp smb.conf.original smb.conf.original.orig )
Yesterday I wanted to give a look at the contents of the old file(smb.conf.original) that
I had copied; but I found that both files have the same content.
I made other changes, in order to do experiments, and I have always seen that the changes
made to a file are always shown on the other file.
The command "ls -l" shows the two files are colored blue which (I think)
indicates that the files are a link to each other.
Since I am convinced that I used the "cp" command; my question is:
which mistake can I have made to create a link of the file instead of a copy of it?
Thank you
Regards
Angelo
