Wrong answer. The FHS dictates where the *applications that make up the system* will look for these files. If they're still looking for a file like mtab in /etc, it's not FHS. We've accepted this in the past for hysterical raisins, but if we have an opportunity to fix these bugs in the FHS itself, I don't see why we wouldn't. > >/etc/resolv.conf - some daemons need to update this, eg. pppd, > > dhcpd > Use a symlink. This seems ok, since it is *mostly* a config file. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
