All, At the day job we've found a bug in an rcfile (for open-vm-tools), that = conflicts with our puppet install. We've already told the pkg = maintainer, pointed out the problem, might also go ahead and file a pr = so there's an available patch. In the mean time, all our puppet runs are reporting failures because of = this. Is there a "correct" way to change the main rc.d file, but still have it = such that a new version of the pkg will overwrite this with a fixed = version? I know that pkg normally will refuse to delete a file in = /usr/local/etc that has local changes. -Dan=
