But I linked not the /etc directory but the /etc/ax25 directory. Or at least I thought I did. I believe it was to be a temporary thing but as usual I forgot I did it. At least I think I did all this.

Well I just tried all that and no sir, I can't find any links set up to /etc/ax25 directory. Maybe I already got rid of the link and missed that. Anways - Rick, I am very grateful to u for the time you took to help me through this search. I have learned a bit more about 'find' and was also reminded by you not to forget to use 'grep' more than I was. So, all in all, while I never found the link that I thought was in place, I had my memory refreshed a bit on how to do searches.
