    I have MySQL 4.1 running in Sarge. The other day I did a security
    upgrade on MySQL and it overwrote the server's my.cnf. The only
    change it made was to the basedir, but that was a huge change since the
    server was trying to use a non-existent database. After a little
    checking I discovered the problem and fixed it.

    Is there a way to prevent an upgrade from overwriting my config files?
    Or do I just have to be aware of the problem and check for it?

    Don
