This is odd behaviour. Should a security update be allowed to overwite config files that have been manually altered by the sys admin?
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
I can tell you that the last update did indeed overwrite or change the configuration file, by looking at the modification date. I can not find any /etc/sysconfig/apache2.rpmsave, as I understand it should if it replaces a configuration file. The culprit seems to be the POSTIN or ALL scripts in apache2-2.0.53-9.5.i586.patch.rpm: if test -s etc/sysconfig/apache2 && grep -q "^LOADMODULES" etc/sysconfig/apache2; then sed "s/LOADMODULES/APACHE_MODULES/" etc/sysconfig/apache2 >| $tmpfile \ && cp $tmpfile etc/sysconfig/apache2 fi - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDJ357tTMYHG2NR9URAoEHAJ47r8+tObd6dMvTZbxMXm5HLYelnQCeK9TC zigPJZULQU8xtK0a9eWBn/I= =/h8S -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
