Is it possible to have also some configuration for mergemaster to tell it that some files should be installed automatically without asking -- thus I know that I NEVER change /etc/rc.d/ or /etc/mtree or something like this -- so I wish to avoid mergemaster's questions about installing that files. Yes, I know, that this way I can shoot myself in the foot. If this suggestion seems reasonable -- I can write small patch to mergemaster. /Gaspar -- Gaspar Chilingarov System Administrator, Network security consulting t +37493 419763 (mob) i 63174784 e nm@web.am w http://zanazan.am/
