Hi all,

it seems, that the package openafs-client / i386 / 1.4.7-68.2.SL5 replaces an 
existing CellServDB.

As I understand, configuration files in rpm packages may be declared as %config 
or %config(noreplace). 
In case of %config, an existing file is renamed to *.rpmsave and the new file 
from the package is used. This is what I experience with that package.
In case of %config(noreplace), an existing file is left untouched and the new 
file from the package is copied to *.rpmnew. This is what I would like to have.

Is there any way to configure the latter behaviour locally (i.e. to override 
the settings from the package) or can this only be changed in the package 
itself? What would be the reason to define CellServDB as %config instead of 
%config(noreplace)?


Best Regards
 Jan Schulze
