*Except* that SRSS doesn't properly handle
the /etc/dt/config/{Xsetup/Xstartup/Xreset} files. There is a CR
outstanding on this. So by doing this copy you are effectively
short-circuiting the SRSS mechanisms for updating this file via
patches etc.
If /etc/dt/config/Xsetup sources /usr/dt/config/Xsetup, as in:
% cat /etc/dt/config/Xsetup
#! /bin/ksh -p
...
if [[ -r /usr/dt/config/Xsetup ]] ; then
. /usr/dt/config/Xsetup
fi
...
then it automatically gets any updates that are applied (by anyone,
including SRSS) to the /usr/dt file.
You can't do this if the purpose of the /etc/dt/file is to deliberately omit
or exclude something that the /usr/dt/file does, but in this case we're
talking about doing some purely additional work, along the lines of:
(umask 0700 && mkdir /tmp/.ICE-unix && chmod 1777 /tmp/.ICE-unix
&& touch /tmp/.ICE-unix/foo)
So where's the problem?
