Much appreciated, thanks! We're making a serious effort at streamlining the cluster refresh process and etcupdate seems to fit the bill nicely for upgrading src-less systems. We have freebsd/8.x machines in the mix so this eliminates a whole bunch of script exceptions. etcupdate is so much nicer than mergemaster when dealing with *many* systems.
