And the files in /var/backups/ used by the periodic script have saved my
bacon more than once.

        ls /var/backups
        aliases.bak             group.bak               master.passwd.bak
        aliases.bak2            group.bak2              master.passwd.bak2

One would almost wish that things like the /etc/rc.conf, named and *mc
files where there too :-)
