As a result of CVS modifying $FreeBSD$ tags when commits happen, this makes the /etc/rc.d/jail file which you get by installing from the source code very slightly different from what you get by using FreeBSD Update (since the FreeBSD Update patches are built before the CVS commits are done, this is unavoidable); consequently, FreeBSD Update doesn't recognize the file and thinks that you modified it locally. > Now, I do not recall ever playing with jail.

The easiest solution is to remove /etc/ from the UpdateIfUnmodified line in /etc/freebsd-update.conf and run freebsd-update again. Make sure that you add /etc/ back afterwards.

I don't have such a file, and no port with a pkg-plist installs such a file, so I can't tell where it came from. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hello, Lowell Gilbert pisze: Now, I do not recall ever playing with jail. Anyway, how do I update the system (and keep changes to /etc/rc.d/jail (if any))? I suggest looking at the differences, and hand-updating to the latest version of the file if it will server for you. Then you should be able to take updates in the future... Forgive me for asking but where do I take jail file to compare it to the existing one? Thank you!

freebsd-update and locally modfied files
Hello, Can you help me by suggesting what I need to do when I want to use freebsd-update fetch (FBSD 6.2) but get the following message: The following files are affected by updates, but no changes have been downloaded because the files have been modified locally: /etc/rc.d/jail Now, I do not recall ever playing with jail. Anyway, how do I update the system (and keep changes to /etc/rc.d/jail (if any))? Thank you in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
