  FreeBSD src repository

  Modified files:
    etc/rc.d             named 
  Log:
  Add -h to the ln command to make the -f flag actually do something.
  Without this flag, if the symlink existed already a new symlink would
  be created in the source directory. While harmless if the two symlinks
  were the same, it nonetheless caused pointless confusion.
  
  The pathological case is that when there is an existing /etc/namedb
  symlink, but named_chrootdir in rc.conf pointed to a different
  directory, it was the symlink in /var/named that was getting
  updated, not the one in /etc. This led to some difficult to diagnose
  problems for users.
