Lightbulb 10.1 -> 10.2 which conf files changed?


Hi all,
I followed UPGRADE.txt to get to 10.2, and besides a minor SDL issue I had another question. I know that several configuration files are replaced (with the .new extension) and Pat recommends a script to use the .new to replace the old files (which are renamed to .bak).
I was wondering though, which files exactly are updated? I forgot to change the script to output what is getting changed before running it (it was late ) so I know of a few files in /etc/, but I just recently found out that my ssh / sshd configuration was changed.
Anyone have a list they can point me to?

Do a search for .new files. Whenever config files are changed (at least for the most part anyway) the original config files aren't touched and the new config file is added with a .new extension.

HTH,

If you used Pat's script, which says "Your old config files will be copied to *.bak",
then issue "find /etc -iname '*bak*' 2>/dev/null" as root, which will give you every
file with the extension .bak in your /etc directory.

I'll try those out tonight, since I think I might have some .new files still in directories under /etc/. My main /etc/ directory has been cleaned out (by hand) of all .new and .bak though.
