/etc/passwdis the same as/../etc/passwdin recent Linux kernels.The LVS automatically adds entries for
"."and".."to directories and, for"/", they both point to"/"‘s inode.../etc/passwdit’s a relative path, so it depends on the process current working directory.If the cwd is
"/"or"/etc", then they all point to the same file.See also: Canonicalization
