1 Although I'm getting better at dealing with the post update
2 configuration problems that always occur, I didn't know how to deal with
3 these. This time around, about 25 or so files in /etc/pam.d need
4 updating. My usual method is to look at the original and proposed
5 updated file in kdiff3, as that is much simpler to view than in
6 dispatch-conf (at least for me). But in this case, these files are all
7 locked, so kdiff3 cannot open them for viewing.

9 So maybe someone just knows...
10 a. is it safe to just update all these files and not worry about it
11 b. is there a way that I can get kdiff3 to display them so I can see
12 what's changing
13 c. are these the type of files that should be protected from ever
14 changing during an update
15
16 Thanks for any advice...
