+overlayPath not working and other issues?

[Steven Hartland]

Doesn't seem like the overlayPath is working in the current version
of the linux server ( bfv_linded-v1.0-20040312.2254 )
Starting with +overlayPath ends in random settings.
A truss and a grep shows the following:
linux_stat64("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/settings//serversettings.con",0xbfbfc7c8,0xbfbfc7c8) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/settings/serversettings.con",0) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_open("usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0x0,0600) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'

Creating the relavent symlinks doest seem to help and produces:
grep -i serversettings t.txt 
linux_stat64("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings//serversettings.con",0xbfbfc7c8,0xbfbfc7c8) = 0 (0x0)
linux_stat64("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings//ServerSettings.con",0xbfbfc7c8,0xbfbfc7c8) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("/usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_open("usr/local/games/bfv/mods/bfvietnam/2941/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0x0,0600) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'

without using +overlayPath I get:
grep -i serversettings t.txt 
linux_stat64("/usr/local/games2/bfv/./mods/bfvietnam/settings//serversettings.con",0xbfbfc808,0xbfbfc808) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("mods/BFVIETNAM/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/serversettings.con",0) = 0 (0x0)
linux_access("mods/BFVIETNAM/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/serversettings.con",0) = 0 (0x0)
linux_open("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/serversettings.con",0x0,0600) = 28 (0x1c)
linux_access("mods/BFVIETNAM/Settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/ServerSettings.con",0) ERR#2 'No such file or directory'
linux_access("./mods/bfvietnam/settings/serversettings.con",0) = 0 (0x0)

Note: this one includes an open which is good :)

Also noted that is using the old map format. Are we expecting a version thats
synced with 1.6? I ask as this has vital fixes for the win32 servers to support
multiple servers and remove the GFX dependencies.

Finally whats BFVIETNAM.pid? There seems to be only one and this would cause
issues in a multi server env unless this was also stored under +overlayPath
