The clean solution would be moving /dev/log to /var/run/log, but this will break binary compatibility for statically linked old binaries. Next to this, we could create it under /var/run/log, but maintain a symlink to /dev/log for compatibility. Alas, devfs doesn't understand symlinks yet either. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
