Description mikem 2001-04-15 14:40:01 UTC 
In the /etc/rc startup script a soft link is created from /var/run/log to
/dev/log like this: if [ ! -h /dev/log ]; 
The man page for test(1) says that the -h switch is depracated and that
users should NOT rely on it being available. It suggest the -L switch instead.
They both do the same thing: check for the existence of the symbolic link.

Fix: This is the diff for the fix:
How-To-Repeat: grep ' -h ' /etc/rc
