Soft links not being replaced by hard links (2.0.6)

[Chip Seraphine]

I have a soft link (/etc/rc3.d/S99cfengine, points to 
/etc/init.d/cfengine) that I wish to replace with a hard link in order 
to be more Sun-ish.  So, under links: I put a line like this:


/etc/rc3.d/S99cfengine  ->! /etc/init.d/cfengine type=hard


I am expecting that the '!' will cause cfengine to wipe out the old soft 
link and replace it with a hard link.  Instead, I get:

cfengine:moops: Hard link (/etc/rc3.d/S99cfengine->/etc/init.d/cfengine) 
exists and is okay.

It would appear that cfengine somehow thinks this is a hard link and not 
a soft one pointing at the same target.
