["Purple Shirt" <purpleshirt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
