Anything installed by RPM should be in 'templates'. These files don't need to be part of the backup/restore, as you can and should just re-install the RPM (we recommend keeping any non-standard RPMs in in i-bay, so that they are part of the backup/restore, and are "at hand" when needed to rebuild a system). "templates-custom" is really for local customisations - i.e. changes from the RPM behaviour. If RPMs use "templates-custom", then the local admin loses their own playpen for genuine "custom" changes. -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
