Rather than setting a soft link, I just modified xorg.conf to point Mouse[1] to /dev/input/mice. Works fine, but that doesn't answer the question of what happened in the first place. Any ideas??
I have one, David... fsck or the correct variant for that file system. I did a couple of "fresh" 9.3 installs not too long ago on this system... garden variety "fresh" installs, not upgrades, as I've done on the same system with 8.2, 9.0 and 9.2... and had unexplained file system problems creeping in hours to days afterwards. I eventually figured out that 9.3 was picking up data from the previous system (9.2). The corruptions started small with barely perceptible effects, but gradually grew to affect more and more of the drive until it would finally fall over. So, when you mention "fresh install" of 9.3 and combine that phrase with an unexplained lost system file, even a symlink, I know what *I'm* thinking... "where's that boot CD?"

Carl, I'll keep an eye on it. I think the there was also a loss of the libler.so.2 and libldap.so.2 links as well. What is strange is when I say "fresh install", I mean really fresh install onto a pair of *new* virgin 250G drives. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
