What system is this on?  What does 'ls -li' tell you about these two
files?

This is what you should see:

$ echo foo > name1
$ ln name1 name2
$ cat name2
foo
$ echo moo >> name2
$ cat name1
foo
moo
$ ls -li name[12]
1816478 -rw------- 2 jschauma professor 8 Sep 19 21:37 name1
1816478 -rw------- 2 jschauma professor 8 Sep 19 21:37 name2
$
