exactly how did you copy the file over?  I've done this many times and 
have not managed to reproduce your behavior.

:  I have a perplexing problem here. After a new install, if I copy
:files to /etc, then on rebooting the laptop both /var and /tmp are
:empty. This phenomena happened on OpenBSD 4.1 too. I Googled and found
:no else had this difficulty. In the current case I copied
:/etc/printcap over. What might be going wrong? NOTE: If I just edit
:the files then everything is just fine.
