Hello,

I had a small issue adding a new service to startup. As often copy/paste of logs
are better than long sentenses, here is the shell output :

platon /etc/runlevels/default # rc-update add samba default
 * samba added to runlevel default...
 * Caching service dependencies...
ln: creating symbolic link `/mnt/.init.d/need/sysklogd/atd' to
`/etc/init.d/atd': No space left on device
ln: creating symbolic link `/mnt/.init.d/need/sysklogd/dcron' to
`/etc/init.d/dcron': No space left on device                                   
         [ ok ]
 * rc-update complete.

platon /etc/runlevels/default # df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             3.9G  1.6G  2.2G  42% /
tmpfs                 1.0M 1016K  8.0K 100% /mnt/.init.d
/dev/hda1              16G   13G  2.4G  85% /home/ftp

So the script tries to create a link and issue an error because of the lack of
space onto tmpfs disc.

Is it possible to check the return value of 'ln' line 71 to not have a beautiful
"ok" on script error ? :-)

Thanks

Claer
