symbolic links within /bin
I was just looking around in /bin and noticed some symbolic links that
may be incorrect. My system is 0.93R5+++ (I update the base regularly).
The links I wonder about are
csh -> ../usr/bin/tcsh
rmail -> /usr/sbin/rmail
rnews -> /usr/sbin/rnews
smail -> /usr/sbin/smail
tcsh (6.05-4) seems the most serious since if someone choses to use tcsh
for root, it may not be available when the system is running.
The others just seem a little odd. The FSSTND says things in /bin are
essential to have the system running and I don't think rmail, smail and
especially rnews falls into that category. Maybe its for traditional
reasons, but I would think we would try to straighten it out.
Are these bugs? If so, I will report each of them individually so that
the maintainers can work independently and each defect can be resolved on
its own.
