Instead of extracting the etc.tgz set, use etcupdate to selectively apply changes, like so: cd / etcupdate -s $whereever/etc.tgz and skip those where you have made local changes. Some of the files in the etc.tgz set you typically never want to apply from the set, such as etc/master.passwd, etc/group, and etc/rc.conf, but etcupdate still asks you how to handle those. True, some "system-supplied users" may come along with an update, and diffs to apply those will still come from postinstall which is run in the later stages of etcupdte. Regards, - Håvard
