Using b17.1 on Windows NT 4.0 SP2, with a FAT drive, if I am in /usr/rjf
and there is a directory /pub, and I issue the command:

ln -s /pub

I get what looks to be a link in /usr/rjf, i.e. ls reports pub->/pub.

However, when I attempt to cd into /usr/rjf/pub, I get:

bash.exe: pub: Not owner

while doing cd /pub works fine.

I haven't really worked with links much, so perhaps I am missing
someting?
