This seems rather strange. If you are actually in /tmp
(I take it you mean by 'cd /tmp') then
% ls -l
should not report a tmp directory unless you have
another tmp as a subdirectory of /tmp i.e. /tmp/tmp
If you are actually in the root directory and
/tmp is a truly symbolic link to /var/tmp then 'ls -l'
should report something like:
l????????? ? root wheel ?? Aug 26 11:48 tmp -> /var/tmp
Please check your information.
