Everything went exceptionally well, except when all was said and done, /etc/namedb/named.conf was stomped over by the stock system version. The logic that preserves the contents of /etc doens't seem to chase after the symlinks that point /etc/namedb over to /var directory. It was trivial to restore for me since I took an ffs_mksnap snapshot of each file system before upgrading :-) Nonetheless it was very tricky to figure out why DNS wasn't working quite right on my network. >How-To-Repeat: perform binary upgrade from the 6.2 CD. >Fix: teach the /etc save/restore routines about chasing symlinks. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
