There is no clean, right, or easy way to do this (at least not that I've found so please please please, someone correct me and prove me wrong). We suffer from the same problem and have several kludges that we use to bludgeon the files into the system. There is supposed to be a talk about managing config files at the upcoming Red Hat Summit later this month, the presentations should be available on the site afterwards if you are interested. -greg _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
