I have the same experience while I was upgrading a few machines upgrading from RELENG_7 to RELENG_7_2. I haven't experienced when upgrading from 7.1-R to 7.2-R. Here auth.conf, csh.cshrc, hosts, crontab, syslogd.conf, passswd, master.passwd, group, sysctl.conf motd and maybe some more got overwritten :-( I had to restore from backups. -- S pozdravom / Best regards Daniel Gerzo, FreeBSD committer
