Would:

find / -type l -print | grep ax25

Work?


I can't believe you have /etc linked...  I Think that could cause trouble low numbered 
run levels.
You could do a ls -l on /etc and grep for ax25.
Another possibility is some kind of environment variable that's being prefixed on your 
/etc/ax25 path.
Try:
env | grep -i ax25
and set, and alias, others?
If it's an environment variable you can:
unset AX25_HOME 
or whatever the variable name is...

as someone else always says...

Hi Rick and Brett and others on the list.  Thanks for your assistance.  I
tried some of your examples here and while it works I can't quite get my head
around how I would find the following link.

Here is what is happening. I installed an application that looks for it config
files in /etc/ax25 directory.  However when I run the application after its
installed - it is looking for these application in /usr/local/etc/ax25.

Somehow, I believe I set up a symlink a long time ago and now I would like to
find out where in hell it is.  I know my compilation of the application(s)
is/are not wrong as the installation of the sample files all went to  the
/etc/ax25 directory. But when I run the application it again says - NOPE,
can't find those config files in /usr/local/etc/ax25???

So - is there a way to find out where I have that link set?  What would be the
strategic commands and switches to locate this rascal..

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me on this..
