hmm, RPM built with the spec bundled actually does
- overwrite some, saving original ones to blah.cfg.rpmsave
- leave some alone, saving the new config to blah.cfg.rpmorig
So, I'd think the 'problem' and/or solution is/should-be specific to the distro and ways of installation (compile/make/install, or standard packaging like pkg/rpm/deb, etc.)

Hello -
It is my understanding that the configuration files located in $HOBBITROOT/etc are not overwritten during an upgrade. Where would I find the configuration files that would have been installed had this been a new installation? (A few of the admins are looking for them...)
Any chance that the installer can be modified to save the default configuration files to $HOBBITROOT/etc/DIST (or some other directory) in the event of an upgrade installation?
Thanks -
