Troubleshooting the etc Directory

The cl-support script replicates the /etc directory.

Files that cl-support deliberately excludes are:

FileDescription
/etc/nologinnologin prevents unprivileged users from logging into the system.
/etc/alternativesupdate-alternatives creates, removes, maintains and displays information about the symbolic links comprising the Debian alternatives system.

This is the alphabetical of the output from running ls -l on the /etc directory structure created by cl-support.
