Why? This seems to be the right thing to do. If you want to make a symlink you either have to do one relative in the compat tree or absolut to /usr/compat/linux.... Or do you mean that if the etc exist in the compat linux dir, it should use that instead, well, then you have a problem with making a symlink to the real / as Mike suggested in another mail. I noticed that if you start the linux bash and do a cd / you get to the real root :/ Johan -- * mailto:johan@moon.pp.se * http://www.moon.pp.se/johan/ * * Powered by FreeBSD. http://www.se.freebsd.org/ -+-+-+ * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
