Ahhhh. Funny you should mention this. This is exactly how I screwed myself then. To funny.. Your given 3 choices when "etc-update" is run...What I usually do is the following:
-1
-3
and -5.
Whats the diff between -3 and -5....this isn't makig sense to me even after reading some stuff on the forum..
1. Ignore fstab, passwd, and shadow. I do check to see if there are any actual changes (almost never) and incorporate these manually later.
2. Files that I know I have made no changes to, I just replace the old with the new.
It's a tedious process, at best. It's not a bad idea to make a copy of /etc before you start, then you have a way out when things go bang.
