--------
how about:
if [ ! -f "/etc/profile" -a ! -L "/etc/profile"]; then
cp -a /etc/profile.default /etc/profile
fi
Rightly or wrongly I setup /etc/profile as a symblic link to
a network drive version of profile, so that several hosts
share the same file. The postinstall/profile.sh leaves the
link but then copies in the default profile, so I have to manually
delete it.
So, in general should there be a check for a symbolic link also
as shown above.
Just a thought.
thanks,
Tom
