Ooops, I spoke to soon, after adding the patch looks like I get noise now:
cfengine:sundev3: Link (/etc/rc3.d/S92os_mgmt->/etc/init.d/os_mgmt) exists.
cfengine:sundev3: Linking files /etc/rc3.d/S92os_mgmt -> /etc/init.d/os_mgmt
cfengine:sundev3: Couldn't link /etc/init.d/os_mgmt to /etc/rc3.d/S92os_mgmt
cfengine:sundev3: symlink: File exists
where the cfengine rule is:
links:
/etc/rcS.d/S99os_mgmt -> /etc/init.d/os_mgmt
Any help would be appreciated.

Try again (keep away from the electrostatic mouse...)
Jim,
I am a little puzzled by this. It seems that the code has been broken
for some time. I can see that part of it happened during some type
optimizations, but I can only apologize for not seeing this before
now. ("It used to work, honest guv..")
Well, please try the latest patches in svn. I believe this works
again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Mark
