There are at least two other famous links: /usr/src/sys is linked to /sys for brevity/convenience, and /usr/sbin/rmt is linked to /etc/rmt (alas), since the original "rmt protocol" used to have it this way, and it's impossible to change it now since this name might/will be requested by foreign systems. Yeah, well, there's a third (customized) one: /etc/localtime, pointing to the time zone definition valid for you. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
