As a newcomer to SUSE (a few hours), I found this situation somewhat disturbing:

# grep -r baxbax /etc/
grep: /etc/hotplug.d/ttyUSB1/50-visor.hotplug: Too many levels of symbolic links
# ls -ltr /etc/hotplug.d/ttyUSB1/
total 1
drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 488 Mar 23 08:50 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 5 06:42 50-visor.hotplug -> 50-visor.hotplug
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 Jul 5 06:42 .

Is this link really supposed to point to itself??

Frank
