This is the 02/12 SNAP. I think it's a feature. RELENG_3, as of this morning, does the same thing for a new install, except that the file exists but is empty except for the "...just the overrides..." header. For an `upgrade' install it copies _all_ of the old rc.conf values into the new one, advertising them as just the overrides. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
