We wrote an RPM that:
(a) Requires whatever other RPMs that we want to use (so a standard
install would work and we didn't need to spend time selecting the packages
to install and so that we could deploy a newly useful RPM quickly to all
machines)
(b) installs our config files to /etc/local-install
(c) includes an init.d script which runs at level 01 in rc2/3/4/5 to copy
the above files to their appropriate location (overwriting the RPM-owned
file) on each startup.
I couldn't think of a better way.

After installing Fedora, I want to replace various configuration files
on lab computers. If I can learn how to do this in the post section of
an RPM spec file, I will be happy. For example, I want/need to
replace things like
/etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
/etc/gdm/PostSession/Default
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
/etc/hosts.allow
/etc/hosts.deny
One brute force option is to install with rpm --replacefiles, but yum
does not like that.
So can you point me at a spec file or two that will give example
syntax on how I can create a backup of those files and replace them
with the ones I want.
Please?
