This of course caused my changes to it be lost. One suspects a quick review of all the files in /etc may be in order to see if they need to be restored, I can see how the list would fall out of date. >How-To-Repeat: Customize newsyslog.conf and then upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.2.6 >Fix: Restore newsyslog.conf from backup. (Backup? What backup?) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
