Every time I'm building a world on one of my machines it clobbers
the dotfiles in /usr/share/skel which are shared in our NIS/YP
environment. Each of the 10 PCs mounts /usr/share -root=0 from our
NFS/NIS server. When I build world on one of the clients which 
happens to be a PPRO and makes world building a fun otherwise.
Could this be changed in that make world leaves the existing files
there untouched. Or is there another way to protect an individual setup?
