I could definitely live with that. I'm really not _against_ the change,
and I do see the point of making things consistent. But I'm coming from the
standpoint of someone who's trying to introduce freebsd into a previously
all-sun shop, and every single little thing that's different gets me a
funny look and N minutes of explanation as to why we do things the way we
do. Personally I've taken to symlink'ing /var/adm/messages on the sun
boxes, so having a symlink the other way around in this case is fine with
me.
Hoping this makes some kind of sense,
Doug
