	Well, since ls is showing you the link count, these are hard links, and
you're in luck.  Find the inode number via 'ls -i file'.  Then, from the
directory above (or perhaps even two above), type:

	find . -inum <number> -print

Since it's in /etc, you probably don't want to start at '/', or it'll
take a loooong time.  If you do need to, or if the above didn't find all
of them, then see the -xdev option to find, which will restrict it to
one filesystem.
