This policy is enforced whenever you "make world". It's a little annoying having to keep undoing this, and inconvenient to keep patching the file in a ctm tree before each build. Is there any reason to keep this line in BSD.usr.dist - would BSD.local.dist not suffice for those who want to simply adopt the default policy for /usr/local? >How-To-Repeat: make world >Fix: Remove "local" entry from etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
