/var/backups strange behaviour
Hi Before do anything, i read this : man 8 daily I just installed a fresh OpenBSD-5.2 and /var/backups : empty I don't understand why backup is enabled in /var/backups. I explain, if i run the script : 'sh /etc/daily', backups is done. (i.e 'ls /var/backups') In the manpage of daily, it will backup only if : ROOTBACKUP Variable is enable (=1) or altroot partition in /etc/fstab Actually none of these 2 statements are present. Any idea ? Thank you very much. Regards, Wesley

Reading docs (and checking references helps): See security(8) (run by daily(8) as documented) and changelist(5) (referred to by security(8)). -Otto
