I discussed this with Craig. Tracking the symlinks local would, of
course, turn the services on. What you'd like to do is rename the
files to start with s instead of S (the standard way of turning off
services in /etc/rc?.d). Right now on Solaris, we just put the
undesired symlinks in the exception list for /etc/rc2.d in the
subscription list, so the symlinks aren't copied at all. (rc2.d
itself doesn't appear to be on the exception list for /etc; I'm not
sure how that works out.)
I just realized that we can use track to rename files; we'd have to
add subscription entries like:
/etc/rc2.d/S60lp:/etc/rc2.d/s60lp:::
/etc/rc2.d/S61bsdlpr:/etc/rc2.d/s61bsdlpr:::
Likewise, if we ever go from track to synctree, we can use synctree's
"map" option to rename such files.
