Does anyone know if there is any way to create a file link in a common directory that points to a file in a users home directory. e.g.:
/export/home/users/link.file -> /export/home/users/jbloggs/link.file
or:
/export/home/users/link.file -> /export/home/users/jdoe/link.file
depending on what user is logged in to the box.

Check the man pages for the ln command. Pretty straight forward syntax. If the file and the link are on different file systems, you'll need to use the -s option to create a symbolic link.
