    Hi,
      When upgrading packages (ex. getting the latest
    version of Sendmail that fixes a security bug), the
    old configuration files are saved as the file name
    followed by a .rpmsave. However, doesn't this mean
    that when the system is restarted that my old
    configuration will no longer be used and that the new
    default configuration file (which doesn't have all my
    settings, etc. will be used instead)? What makes this
    even more of an issue (if my understanding is correct)
    is if I want to have the machines automatically
    download and install security fixes and updates from
    RHN, since they might be installed and remove the old
    packages at any time. Could someone shed light on
    this issue? Thanks for your time.
