You can just tell that to etcupdate interactively: d Don't install the new file (keep your old file) We do get new users/groups from time to time (e.g. to run some daemon), so you need to keep an eye on changes to these files. But there's always IGNOREFILES environment variable - see the man page (we should probably provide an example...) -uwe
