My /etc/named.conf is a symlink instead of a file, and every day my 
'insecurity' output consists of:

 	Checking special files and directories.
 	etc/named.conf:
 	        type (file, link)

Things I've tried to get rid of this:
1) change 'type=' in /etc/mtree/special from 'file' to 'link'
2) set 'check_mtree_follow_symlinks=yes' in /etc/security.conf.

No go in either case - can someone tell me what to do to not see this any 
more? Thanks a lot!
