Maybe you have compiled cnid support into you 2.1.3 release, this seems
to be
broken in 2.1.4x. The things that cause the alias problem are also a problem
for many application (Pagemaker not finding pictures, Retrospect trys to backup
the wrong folder...) and I would be happy if the cnid stuff would work
again
(and hopefully stable, I got some problems in a larger Network and asun 2.1.3).
