Yes, yes I did. You know, it's not easy coming up with new and 
innovative ways to make end-user mistakes.

So would "hosts", "exports", and "httpd.conf" be safe to symlink?

Maybe, but it kept saying the whole drive was read only, even if I 
logged in as root. I couldn't find a way of making any changes.
