Hi, I get everyday the following message while booting. What does it mean? What should I do with these files? Are they left overs from an update? Ulrich ----------------------------------------------------------------- This is a warning message. rpmconfigcheck has found the following new unresolved config files (all files are listed in /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck): /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc.rpmsave /etc/X11/qtrc.rpmnew /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.rpmnew /etc/inittab.rpmnew /etc/login.defs.rpmsave /etc/mailcap.rpmsave /etc/mailman.mail-gid.rpmnew /etc/mime.types.rpmsave /etc/postfix/main.cf.rpmnew /etc/samba/smb.conf.rpmnew /etc/security/pam_unix2.conf.rpmnew /etc/xml/docbook_41.xml.rpmorig /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmcd/config/cdrom.rpmorig /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmcd/config/common.cfg.rpmorig /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmcd/config/device.cfg.rpmorig /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xmcd/config/wwwwarp.cfg.rpmorig /usr/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.pyc.rpmnew /usr/sbin/useradd.local.rpmnew --------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. .rpmnew mean the rpm has created this file and left your old config alone. .rpmsave means it has overwritten you old config file. This is controlled from insode the rpm spec file. You should compare these files and see if rpm changed anything (or did not change it). You can use e.g. sdiff for that. Of course this means you have to know what these config files are and what the options in them mean. If you dont know that you and everything is find you shouldnt touch them ( and maybe delete the .rpm{save|new} file) Henne -- Hendrik Vogelsang aka Henne mailto: hvogel<at>hennevogel.de Worker bees can leave.

Yes, they probably are left-overs from an update. When YOU updates things, it won't overwrite your lovingly customized config files. It saves new configs instead as xyz.rpmnew. You might want to check them to see whether an updated program has introduced new configuration params. If not ... well I just delete them. :) Fish
