It doesn't change what is actually installed in either case, it just inverts the logic. Though the end results maybe the same, we now have a sed that is running in the normal case, is not run in the exception case, a src file that must be editted to match the distribution file, etc. I can not express stronly enough how much I object to this. I have explained in your diffential that this should actually be put back as far as inverted, and that actually bin/csh/Makefile nor bin/sh/Makefile should never even touch etc/master.password, simply the wrong place to be doing it. This should be in what ever Makefile installs /etc/master.password an no place else. Regards, -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
