--- Comment #2 from Duane <parakleta@darkreality.org> ---
(In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #1)

I=E2=80=99m administering a multiuser system in an educational setting and =
I need to
preset certain global preferences that users cannot edit and that wont be l=
ost
due to a reinstall of the package (and that wont prevent me from seeing the
default version of the preferences if it=E2=80=99s updated).

I=E2=80=99m not sure how the `pkg` system works if I edit an installed file=
. Does it
leave it undisturbed across an uninstall/reinstall cycle? And if something
important changes in the default config with a version update how will I be
able to see it?

As an example other programs often seem to have a .conf and a .conf.default
which could be an alternative option.
