Ok thanks to a drunken SuSE and Jeff. had to: (remove odd never-ending link) rm /etc/rc.d (remove link into nomansland) rm /etc/init.d/init.d (reset old /etc/rc.d link) ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc.d (move to directory) cd /etc/init.d (set link to itself) ln -s . init.d Linux Standard Base where are you? =) I don't know if it is just me but I hate to have a directory with contents and another link to it right next to it. mk

ln -s /etc/rc.d /etc/rc.d/init.d
or better yet
ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc.d/init.d
(/etc/rc.d is a symlink to /etc/init.d) You may have to delete /etc/rc.d first.

: [snip] 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?
