Is it just me but I created a link from a directory which existed and had contents (/etc/rc.d) to a non-existant file path (/etc/rc.d/init.d) and therefore junked my system Didn't this use to give a warning??? ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/rc.d This dropped the contents of /etc/rc.d and and links /etc/rc.d into nomansland. What are the supposed to be contents of /etc/rc.d? I only get: bash-2.04# ls -l /etc/rc.d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Mar 31 01:36 /etc/rc.d -> init.d bash-2.04# ls -l /etc/rc.d/init.d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Mar 31 19:59 /etc/rc.d/init.d -> /etc/rc.d/init.d How do I fix this mess? mk

I am pretty sure this used to be caught.
I just ran:
ln -s /apache /usr/local/httpd
and it puts in a link /usr/local/httpd/apache.
I could swear this never used to happen and it would always warn you:
"directory exists already."
bash-2.04# ls -l /usr/local/httpd total 5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 31 20:00 apache -> /apache
Shouldn't the valid link command have been:
ln -s /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d/init.d

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

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?

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/rc.d
because hard links cannot link to directories?

HTH, Jeffrey
I was just gonna try VMware. I downloaded the compressed tar version 2.0.3 for Linux hosts.
You can't get it to install under 7.1.
The question of their perl install script:
What is the directory under which the init scripts reside (it should contain init.d/, and from rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? /etc/init.d
The path "/etc/init.d" is a directory which does not contain a init.d directory.
What is the directory under which the init scripts reside (it should contain init.d/, and from rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)? /etc
The path "/etc" is a directory which does not contain a rc0.d
Quoting Purple Shirt
: directory. What is the directory under which the init scripts reside (it should
contain
init.d/, and from rc0.d/ to rc6.d/)?
The answer always fails. =(
