No. There shouldn't be real files in /System/Settings.* But it's your system, so really you can do what you want, it won't do any harm. The proper way of handling new files is to put them in the /Programs entry and re-link. I don't really see why you'd do it here, though; conf is only there so other programs can insert their configuration into Apache without having to guess the right place to put it in httpd.conf. You can just edit the file yourself. > Seems kind of confusing to have duplicate conf/ folders like that. I'm > still curious about Jonas' comment that this is a bug. It isn't a bug if conf was always empty. Your initial description made it sound like something had gone missing, but I don't think there's a bug here (that said, there seems to be an interesting situation I ran into while testing this when you have an empty directory in Settings coupled with a pre- existing symlink of the same name in /S/S, but that's not what you hit here).
* There are a few in there, like passwd and fstab, that have to be actual files because of software limitations and tools that won't follow links. No others should be created, ideally. -Michael
