Umm, make that "-h"... Sorry.

Yep, forgot that. Ok, take 2:
if [ ! -d /var/log -a ! -h /var/log ] ; then \
mkdir -p /var/log ;
chmod a+x /var ;
chmod 1777 /var/log ;
fi
if [ ! -f /var/log/wtmp -a ! -h /var/log/wtmp ] ; then \
touch /var/log/wtmp ;
chmod 666 /var/log/wtmp ;
fi
Thanks for the comments,
Igor
