When I try to do this I get the message that /var/run/log and /var/run/ndc cannot be copied. I looked and saw that the permssions were: srw-rw-rw- for log srw------- for ndc I am guessing that the s in the directory (1st) slot is keeping me from copying these files. I tried to change the permissions, but was unsuccessful. How can I copy these files/directories to /usr/var/un so I can link /var to /usr/var???
