What were you trying to do?

Poke around /srvd/usr.

What's wrong:

How many of the following entries in /srvd/usr are necessary?

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root            9 Jul 27  1990 beta@ -> /mit/beta
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root            8 Jul 27  1990 clu@ -> /mit/clu
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root           10 Jul 27  1990 games@ -> /mit/games
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root           16 Jul 27  1990 unsupported@ -> /mit/unsupported

The filesystem 'beta' does not exist.  'unsupported' and 'games'
contain useful things but don't seem to warrant an entry in /usr
(particularly since the lockers have to be attached anyway).  And
/usr/clu?  Sheesh.. :-)

What should have happened:

Someone should have removed these historical and now probably useless
symlinks long ago.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
