What is the purpose of this kind of circular connection? What would happen if I removed this or just created a /tftpboot directory and linked it to /? The only reference I can find to tftpboot is in man8 for /usr/etc/in.tftpd and it specifically mentions /tftpboot not the circuitous construct we have her. -- Bob Peirce, Pittsburgh, PA rbp@investor.pgh.pa.us 412-471-5320 venetia@investor.pgh.pa.us [NeXT Mail] ...!uunet!pitt!investor!rbp [UUCP]
