Thanks. Sounds like only a diff between system-provided and sysadmin-overrided config, however: That might help for the latter part of the question - notify only when system service file is overridden locally (by suppressing notification if systemd-deta is empty). How to do first part of the question - be notified with a diff between old versus new _effective_ config when a package update changes a system service file? With conffiles, sysadmin can be notified on changes by simply changing whitespace to the conffile (as that invalidates md5sum). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
