The ports system uses mtree to generate a directory skeleton for /usr/local and /usr/X11R6. The main world build uses it to generate a directory skeleton for the OS. Basically, the files in /etc/mtree list the common directories that make up a FreeBSD installation for each of the major components.

In the last episode (Jan 19), JoeB said: Read man mtree, but it does not describe when or for what purpose you would use the mtree command. Would someone explain when to use the mtree command? You can use it to create directories and enforce permissions (the installworld target uses it like this). You can also validate an existing filesystem against mtree output generated in the past. You can build a tripwire-like program this way. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
