Hard links to directories

[Carlos Ibarra]

I made a hard link to a directory with
     ln -f hardlink1 hardlink2
and I cannot remove it.

rmdir	reports   "Directory not empty"
rm -r 	reports   "rm: hardlink1 not removed"

tracing   "unlink hardlink1"  gives:

unlink ("hardlink1") = -1 EPERM (Not owner)

Even though I am root and the owner is root.


What is going on?
