I said:
| named has /etc because of the presence of "directory /etc" in
| /etc/named.boot. I think that's reasonable, so a /etc/core symlink should be
| added, pointing at either /core or /var/athena/core (not sure which we'd like
| to enforce here, they should point to the same place, of course, once /core
| is changed to point to /var/athena/core).
References to /var/athena/core should have been /var/athena/core.root.
| I'm not sure what to think about cron and vold. I assume that this is
| desired behavior on their part. A bug report should be submitted to
| Sun regarding the fact they do not document the fact that cron and
| vold chdir() silently. It should be referenced in the man page,
| otherwise users cannot know where to expect core dumps.
(and of course, in the meantime, compatibility symlinks should
be added to the appropriate directories).
