These conditions are "anded", right? While I'm asking silly questions: is there a way to exclude certain devices or directories from the effects of updating world? In my experience, it seems rare that MAKEDEV must be run, but it would be nice if /var/mail were left at 1777 across updates; a bonus if, once I changed perms around on a device like the cdrom, it stayed changed. I'm thinking along the lines of the ignore categories in pkgtools.conf... _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
