Description Chris Snyder 2002-08-03 15:42:47 UTC
OpenAFS has a weird design in that it has binaries in the etc directory. 
Portage's config file management treats these just like configuration files -
this caused quite a headache when I wondered why a bug I thought was fixed in a
newer version kept happening.<g>
Comment 1 Daniel Ahlberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-12 07:02:02 UTC
Fixed, next time openafs is emerged it should add the file 01openafs to
/etc/env.d with CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/etc/afs" as its contents. If you like you
can add this file without re-emerging the package.
Comment 2 Chris Snyder 2002-10-03 19:42:29 UTC
One problem with the fix - there are some configuration files in /etc/afs as
well. The directories /etc/afs/C, /etc/afs/afsws, and /etc/afsws/modload should
be masked. /etc/afs should not.

Updated, thanks for the submission.
