Hello,
We are in the process of installing IBM Ported Tool. To be on safe side we changed DDDEF from * to /Service* and mounted root file system on this.

This installation process create couple of sub directory like SSH under /etc and RUN directory under /var. But these sub directory ( RUN and SSH) were already existing under ( /VAR and /ETC).

So we wanted to delete it . But when I tried using ISHELL and checking the structure of /etc , I got surprised and seen below result.

                       Symbolic Link Attributes

 Pathname : /etc
 External link  . . : 0
 File size  . . . . : 12
 File owner . . . . : STCUSER(0)
 Group owner  . . . : STCGROUP(1)

*    $SYSNAME/etc
*
In this it has created the symbolic link for /etc and incorporated $SYSNAME before that. I am not sure how system did it .

The same when I see directory structure of /etc/ssh

 It  has incorporated  /SYSTEM  before /etc/ssh automatically.


Also when I try to see*/Service/etc/ssh* path, System open below detail

Because of automatic symbolic link creation, we are not able to delete ssh and run directory under /etc and /var.

Can you please help me, what are changes I have to make to complete my process, so that I can delete my ssh and run sub directory.

Saurabh
