Huh? If `baba' is a symbolic link, why do you get the contents of /tmp here?

And there not?

Please try the following on your favourite OS (*not* MiNT ;).

#!/bin/sh
#
# This is linktest, a small script for testing the behaviour of symbolic
# links. Frank Bartels (knarf@nasim.cube.net).
#
uname -a
#
cd /tmp
#
mkdir foobar1
touch foobar1/file
ln -s foobar1 foobar2
#
/bin/ls -l  foobar2
/bin/ls -lL foobar2
/bin/ls -l  foobar2/
#
# Clearing up
#
rm -r foobar1 foobar2
#
# End of script.

It should give you the following result:
