Sorry, you lost me. 'services' has 8 characters in the file name and so is
its symlink target; That shouldn't be an issue. Of the 4 symlinks under
/etc/ (i.e. networks, hosts, services, and protocols), only 'protocols'
exceeds the 8 character limit and hence the actual target file in
Windows/System32/drivers/etc/ is 'protocol'. NOTE: I'm talking about the
*target* file not the symlinks themselves, which are fine.
