lets say i need to give a user access to this directory '/home/foo/special' and they are currently mounting (via NFS) '/home/eke'

is there any kind of link i can make inside '/home/eke' so i dont have to mount '/home/foo/special' as well?

i tried doing sometihng like this 'ln -s ../foo/special special' and the link does not work (i imagine because its trying to find '../foo/special' on the local machine not the machine that its mounting.

anyone know how to do this? i would prefer to only have 1 mount per machine and just use links to give users access to other directories....
