Yes, yum/rpm will currently replace files with identical copies but functionally the extra copies are "just wasting reinstall time". By doing "yum reinstall nagios" I don't have the the default config files (i.e. nagios.cfg.rpmnew is not created). This happens only on upgrades.
yum remove <pkg> yum install <pkg> should do what you want (backups of modified config files). Ralf -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
