obrien> Is this something you could generalize and embelish -- adding an obrien> /etc/perodic.conf knob for? It could be a hard one, since there's several (complex) pattern to trim, using an interim working(temporary) file. obrien> Also, if you do 'make installworld' on this machine (since obrien> this is what we're talking about); you can also just make the obrien> change to /usr/src/etc/periodic/security/security.function. Someone said before that 'if that's ok, why not installing all /etc files by default -- you can easily manage your account on /usr/src/etc/master.passwd.' How do you answer? :-) The filename doesn't matter, same story can be applied to /etc/syslog.conf. obrien> I would almost think this is a better way, as you can (cd obrien> /usr/src ; cvs diff) and get a list of all the customization obrien> you've done. It seems that you just forget users using cvsup(1) to have their /usr/src tree (not copying a CVS repository, just extracting files). Yes _I_ am ok with "cvs diff," but sadly to say that not all people are using cvs... -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita
