Description Kalin KOZHUHAROV 2003-08-13 09:44:01 UTC

I just noticed that the default tinydns-setup (which is in files dir => is
gentoo added) makes some symlinks in /service with the commands such as:

ln -sf /var/tinydns /service/tinydns

The way I found that problem is when I was doing some stuff in a chrooted
environment... then / is simply something else :-)

So, a better way is to use ../var/tinydns for example. (If somebody wodered why
are there so many ../../../.. in some X11 dirs, this is it).

I will include a patch (2 pathces) for that.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge djbdns
2.tinydns-setup
3.ls -l /service

Actual Results:  
tinydns -> /var/tinydns

Expected Results:  
tinydns -> ../var/tinydns
