I asked this question in the Fedora users list, but can't get an answer that looks right to me. 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. And I would like to be able to "push" out updated versions of these files via yum updates nightly. 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? -- Paul E.
