Look at the following command sequence (as my user):
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ echo $CONFIG_PROTECT
/usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env
/usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ mkdir temp
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~]$ cd temp
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ touch pippo
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ touch ._cfg0000_pippo
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ export CONFIG_PROTECT="$CONFIG_PROTECT
`pwd`"
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ /usr/sbin/etc-update

As you can see, any directory can be added to CONFIG_PROTECT, and
scanned with etc-update (see: "automerging trivial changes in:
pippo"?).
And now:
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ ll -a
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 sko sko 4096 Jan 7 23:14 .
drwxr-xr-x 168 sko sko 12288 Jan 7 23:13 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 sko sko 0 Jan 7 23:13 pippo
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ touch ._cfg0000_pippo
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ export
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="$CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK `pwd`"
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$ /usr/sbin/etc-update
Scanning Configuration files...
find: /etc/cups/certs: Permission denied
find: /etc/lvm/archive: Permission denied
find: /etc/lvm/backup: Permission denied
find: /etc/tomcat-5: Permission denied
Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :)
[23:13] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/temp]$
The directory ~/temp is listed both in CONFIG_PROTECT and
CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK, so nothing is done...
Is perhaps "/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/" listed in CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK?
Ciao
Francesco
