Again, when you run etc-update, it will *LIST* all of the files it wants to update. You could probably 'cat' that list to a file too.
Somehow it managed to overwrite my /etc/fstab which I wasn't to happy about.
You know, now that you mention is, I seem to recall that it wanted to replace mine once too. Luckily I caught it ! This is one thing where Gentoo's package system needs work. With RPM or APT, it always backs up your current file(s) and appends a meaningful name to it.
