I understand the need for carefully merging the old and the new, but I really shouldn't ever have to for files like these: /etc/aliases /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.allow /etc/manpath.config ... and many others. Mergemaster has so many options that I'm fairly certain that there must be some way to do this. -- J. Porter Clark
