are two of them. the arping under /usr/sbin is a symlink pointing to /sbin/arping -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list |

Try looking for yours in there. But only /sbin/arping is used by default. So it is strange that there are two of them. One is a symlink to the other. poc That does answer the question of why there are two of them. There aren't two of them as he said one is a symlink, the symlink in /usr/sbin points to the arping in /sbin. It is essentially a shortcut, like a desktop short cut that starts for example firefox. Its not actually the program but a pointer to the file you want to execute. As to why there is a symlink which seems to be your question, because some other program or programs are coded to expect arping to be in /usr/sbin rather than sbin so the symlink was created to satisfy this dependency or the other programs would fail to find it and as a result fail to execute as expected. -Max -- We can alter our perception of time, the importance of this fact seems to be beyond the grasp of the majority -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list |
