For example, I use the following cvsup file: *default tag=RELENG_2_2 *default host=cvsup.freebsd.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all Will this get me the new /etc entries? Also, will these new entries wipout my custom configs (hosts,rc, etc.)? I'm guessing I should maybe make a backup copy of /etc and diff the directories afterwards to see what's changed if that's the case.
