Thank you, Charlie, for explaining that. I was confused by the manual text "showlink: It will
display what groups of files are linked together." I thought I could use it to tell if dist and
accept are hard linked together.
Thanks, again, for helping me understand SmartList.

showdist is designed to show you the directories where like-file hardlinks
reside. For example, in your list directory type:
../.bin/showlink rc.init
...and you'll see a list of the _directories_ where there are hard links
to your rc.init file (generally every list directory you have plus .etc/
unless you have a modified rc.init file somewhere).
showlink really wasn't designed to show any hardlink anywhere on your hard
drive (it _only_ looks insite the main lists directory...link a copy of
rc.init outside the list tree and showlink won't see it).
