Hi,

I'm a web developer and all the production environments I work on have a typical /home/<whatever/ structure.

Like a lot of web devs, I have a local environment that is almost identical to production, except it's on my mac. The only thing I haven't been able to emulate is the directory structure of production because mac os x seemingly won't allow you to create even a symlink at /home - even with sudo and I've read even if you go so far as to log in as root.

I only have a few instances where the absolute directory is needed but it would be great if I could iron this out.

Is there a way to make my laptop accept a simple symlink at /home?

Thanks,
K
