7.20. Setting up symlinks and permissions

These files get the proper permissions and the necessary symlinks are created by running the following commands. If you didn't create the loadkeys and/or setclock scripts, make sure not to type them in the commands below.

A note of caution: all the symlinks (that start with an S or K) have to be of the form Sxxxname where xxx are three digits denoting the order in which the script is executed (the lower the number the sooner it's executed). If you feel a need to use less than three digits, make sure you pad with extra zero's at the beginning. This means, don't use S20mydaemon, but S020mydaemon. And don't use K2otherdaemon, but K002otherdaemon.
