Make this: ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99dbora

                                                 ^^^^

When using a wildcard for "rc*" this will expand to "rc.d". Thus in fact you are giving the command `ls -la rc.d`, and you will get the _contents_ of directory "rc.d".

Try `ls -la /etc | grep rc`, and it will be more clear to you.

I hope this helps,
