"which are matched against the beginning of a full file path" would mean that e.g. CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc/foo" would protect the following: /etc/foobar/doh /etc/foo /etc/foobaz .. or did I misunderstand something here? I don't know whether that is the current behaviour of portage, but IMO it certainly shouldn't be. It should rather be /etc/foo (file) or, if /etc/foo is a dir: /etc/foo/* -- Kind Regards, Simon Stelling Gentoo/AMD64 developer -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
