Please no symlinks. We could end up with something like alternatives (/etc/alternatives) where you need a utility to track and change symlinks pointing to symlinks. I don't even know where java is on my machine or which JVM I'm running. Symlinks have a tendency to turn into symlink farms. Look at your PAM install, it's a bunch of links to a single file on most installs. That way lies madness and dragons. I think most people are comfortable with config files and they're intuitive. Also, is anyone at any time going to be using more than one mapping interface? -- Peace and Blessings, -Scott. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
