10.5: A fix for hidden Unix files showing in file system root
Authored by: earthsaver on Nov 20, '07 10:00:29AM

The chflags command works for all but the three symlinks: etc, tmp, and var. What to do about them? Unfortunately, for some reason, my OS Install disc (restored to a hard disk partition) suggests that there is no such directory as Contents inside either OSInstall.mpkg or OSInstall.pkg, and I'll have to wait until I have access to a disc again to make this work.

Other ideas?

If you have installed Developer Tools, you can use SetFile:

/Developer/Tools/SetFile -P -a V /etc

Bye, Scaramanga.
