netscape bookmark.html

[Peter Jay Salzman <p@belial.ucdavis.edu>]

i keep a global bookmark.html in /usr/local/share/users/bookmark.html, and
make symbolic links from within $HOME/.netscape, so all incarnations of me
can use the same bookmark file.

the trouble is, when i edit the bookmarks, say as user p, the symbolic
link is erased and /home/p/.netscape/bookmark.html is written with the
updated information, and becomes a regular file.  the changes are only
accessible to p, since it's no longer a link to the global file.

i can't make hard links because /home and /usr are on different partitions.

i looked into chattr - can't find anything that would help me (i do want the
file to be modifiable).

any ideas on how to keep the symbolic link from being deleted each time i
edit the bookmarks?
