I don't know about a list, clearly.. But I know that there is a perl script that compares the two directories... In fact, you should take a look at: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html It looks like this: Backup the existing /etc: # cp -Rp /etc /etc.old // Recreate a dummy set of dirs: # mkdir /var/tmp/root # cd /usr/src/etc # make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/root distrib-dirs distribution // Delete unecessary directories: # cd /var/tmp/root # find -d . -type d | /usr/bin/perl -lne \ 'opendir(D,$_);@f=readdir(D);rmdir if $#f == 1;closedir(D);' // Then use the perl script available at: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/dircmp.pl (I think)... if not it's on the Clayton's page... # perl dircmp.pl // then you have a nice output like: DIFFER: /etc/defaults DIFFER: /etc/periodic [...] IGNORING: group IGNORING: hosts [..] OBSOLETE?: /etc/rc.conf OBSOLETE?: /etc/fstab [...] Suggestions: diff -c /etc/defaults /var/tmp/root/etc/defaults diff -c /etc/periodic /var/tmp/root/etc/periodic [...] diff -c /etc/pccard.conf.sample /var/tmp/root/etc/pccard.conf.sample cp /var/tmp/root/etc/rc.isdn /etc [...] diff -c /etc/pwd.db /var/tmp/root/etc/pwd.db rm /etc/rc.conf [...] Nice, uh?
