ouch. now I am confused.

I had:

ls /etc/rc.d:
README              dhcp        nfs                        rc1.d     single
SuSEfirewall_final  dhcrelay    nfsserver                  rc2.d     
skeleton
SuSEfirewall_init   dummy       nscd                       rc3.d     smb
SuSEfirewall_setup  gpm         pcnfsd                     rc4.d     smbfs
alsasound           halt        personal-firewall.final    rc5.d     sshd
apache              halt.local  personal-firewall.initial  rc6.d     syslog
apmd                idedma      portmap                    rcS.d     usbmgr
at                  inetd       powerfail                  reboot    
wvdial.dod
autofs              irda        proftpd                    route     xdm
boot                kbd         quota                      routed    xfstt
boot.d              kerneld     quotad                     rusersd   ypbind
boot.local          lpd         random                     rwhod     zope
boot.setup          mysql       rc                         sendmail
cron                network     rc0.d                      serial

ls -l /etc/init.d:
README              dhcp        nfs                        rc1.d     single
SuSEfirewall_final  dhcrelay    nfsserver                  rc2.d     
skeleton
SuSEfirewall_init   dummy       nscd                       rc3.d     smb
SuSEfirewall_setup  gpm         pcnfsd                     rc4.d     smbfs
alsasound           halt        personal-firewall.final    rc5.d     sshd
apache              halt.local  personal-firewall.initial  rc6.d     syslog
apmd                idedma      portmap                    rcS.d     usbmgr
at                  inetd       powerfail                  reboot    
wvdial.dod
autofs              irda        proftpd                    route     xdm
boot                kbd         quota                      routed    xfstt
boot.d              kerneld     quotad                     rusersd   ypbind
boot.local          lpd         random                     rwhod     zope
boot.setup          mysql       rc                         sendmail
cron                network     rc0.d                      serial

Then I ran

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/rc.d

and all the contents (above in /etc/rc.d) disappeared and there was only one 
link rc.d -> init.d left.

Did I junk something important?
