A symlink doens't actually solve the problem of keeping program state files in /etc. Luckily the patch to fix both these programs isn't very complex at all. See the suite of patches for base-files, mount, util-linux, sysvinit, and pam (in approxmately that order) at http://spacepants.org/src/patches Packages with these patches (source, powerpc) are available at http://spacepants.org/debian/experimental -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~jaq
