6.1-STABLE #5: Tue Aug 29 16:06:59 CEST 2006
>Description:
In rc.initdiskless there is a loop, which iterates through the template directories and copies its content to the destination.

The command is
cp -Rp $j/* /$subdir
which obviously have problems with file names starting with a dot and maybe with other cases as well.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Leaving the * from the end, cp will copy all files, and due to -R, a source with an ending / means the contents of the directory will be copied, instead of the directory itself.
