Hi all,

it seems, that the package openafs-client / i386 / 1.4.7-68.2.SL5 replaces an existing CellServDB.

As I understand, configuration files in rpm packages may be declared as %config or %config(noreplace). 
In case of %config, an existing file is renamed to *.rpmsave and the new file from the package is used. This is what I experience with that package.
In case of %config(noreplace), an existing file is left untouched and the new file from the package is copied to *.rpmnew. This is what I would like to have.

Is there any way to configure the latter behaviour locally (i.e. to override the settings from the package) or can this only be changed in the package itself? What would be the reason to define CellServDB as %config instead of %config(noreplace)?


Best Regards
