I generally prefer soft links -- it seems odd that after
cd /etc/init.d; mv foo foo.old; mv foo.new foo
you'd still have the old script executed. But hard links are what
Sun uses for its SysV S/K entities, so I see the logic. Basically
I don't like how Sun does it, but understand the logic of OpenSSH
behaving in the same manner as the OS vendor; that's probably the
better way to behave, for consistency's sake. :-(
