If it's any help I linked both the /usr/etc and the /etc files to the
/conf/net directory. The theory being go directly to the real file.
ln -sf /conf/net/{file} /usr/etc/{file}
ln -sf /conf/net/{file} /etc/{file}
Looking back at my saved history these seam to be the links I made.
ln -sf /conf/net/services /etc/services
ln -sf /conf/net/services /usr/etc/services
ln -sf /conf/net/rpc /usr/etc/rpc
ln -sf /conf/net/rpc /etc/rpc
ln -sf /conf/net/protocols /etc/protocols
ln -sf /conf/net/protocols /usr/etc/protocols
ln -sf /conf/net/named.reload /usr/etc/named.reload
ln -sf /conf/net/named.reload /etc/named.reload
ln -sf /conf/net/named.restart /etc/named.restart
ln -sf /conf/net/named.restart /usr/etc/named.restart
ln -sf /conf/net/printcap /usr/etc/printcap
ln -sf /conf/net/printcap /etc/printcap
ln -sf /conf/net/inetd.conf /usr/etc/idetd.conf
ln -sf /conf/net/inetd.conf /etc/idetd.conf
I personally feel the /usr/etc lilnks should go away, but I didn't
know if the distribution needed them or for that matter other
programs.
