If the packages would simply leave the $FreeBSD: $ id tag in the file, mergemaster will only bug you when the stock version of mailer.conf is next modified. Then you just merge the changes by accepting the new id tag and using the existing functional lines. If the packages keep doing what they do, you only need be botherred by mergemaster the first time after the install. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
