I've been backing up my /etc directory, then either using the fixit option from the boot disk, or just running /stand/scripts/bininst.sh and reinstalling every package that has changed. Then I restore my /etc directory. I'm worried that if there are any changes in the standard /etc, I won't be getting them. Is there a better way to do this?
