Any idea why the same file also exists in /etc/rc.d/ along with boot.setup and some others?
Direct answer, no :-(
I did a locate boot.local and got back only /etc/init.d/boot.local
(I tried this on five machines here running SusE 7.2 and they all showed just one copy)
However, just to be sure, I went to /etc/rc.d and a ls -al gave me that boot.local you describe!
So now, I am at a loss as to why locate could not find it :-( but, anyway ...
The locate command looks at the database that updatedb generates nightly out of a cron job. The user that updatedb runs as probably doesn't have permission to list the contents of the /etc/init.d/ directory. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu, fs at suave.net | $ x 16 Full-time WPI Network Tech, Part time Linux/Perl guy | Just don't make the '9' format pack/unpack numbers... :-) -- Larry Wall in <199710091434.HAA00838@wall.org>
