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 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 Automerging trivial changes in: pippo Exiting: Nothing left to do; exiting. :) 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?
