Hi Michael,

Welcome, and congratulations for getting something working at all in a
low level filesystem on your first try!

Well, tux3_rename and tux3_rmdir look plausible, but tux_add_link is a
cut and paste of tux_create_entry.  You should be able to write it as a
call to the original tux_create_entry.

Regards,

Daniel
