Hi Matteo ! My name is Angelescu Ovidiu and using some ideas from your's freesbie port i have made a FreeBSD live CD called RoFreeSBIE Ro comes from Romanian and FreeSBIE of course from you. I suggest you to save all modified files from /etc instead of some files that exists there.It may be modified /etc/firewall , /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/ttys depends what user wants.Why oblige him to save only a few files from /etc instead to gave him full posibilites? If a user runs named it is also need to save some /var/named files.I agree with /root and /usr/local/etc and /home/freesbie. If you have a scripts directory as in FreeSBIE-1.1 maybe a good idea is to save this directory too.If a script is bad it will be replaced at boot time with a new one ( this is usefull for testing purpose). Another suggestion ..... In /etc/rc.conf exists a lot of posibilities.To not treat them separately load the restore script before /etc/rc.conf is read and of course after you have mounted filesystems and there are writable. I have made this on my Live CD (RoFreeSBIE) and it works well. Hope that suggestions will be appreciated. All the Best ! Keep working the good job! Congratulations to became a FreeBSD commiter too!
