slackpkg - what did I select?


I was going to hit 'K - Enter' but I accidentally just hit enter. What did I select?

It might've just exited it without running anything further. You can try running it again:

Code:
slackpkg new-config
I just looked, and they don't have anything in that case statement to handle any other characters, so it likely automatically skips over them and proceeds on. Since it didn't prompt for anything else, I suspect this was the only file that was changed.

I think the default is keep. If i remember rightly, you should have a file added:
Code:
/etc/ssh/ssh_config.new
Whereas if you pressed "R" the *.new file is removed, and your existing file stays in place.

Thank you both.

It re-ran fine with slackpkg new-config and there was indeed a sshd_config.new file in place.
