Bill,I implemented the suggestion that you made, and got different results:
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  120 Jan 26 18:32 adapter0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  120 Jan 26 18:33 adapter1
no SYMLINK names different, I believe those are permission letters,
and 2 instead of your 1 before root  root. Does this indicate where
I've gone wrong?
