I've never been able to figure this one out... for example, etcupdate works
Just Fine(tm) on my fileserver, where /usr/src actually resides. But, on my
machines where /usr/src is an nfs mount from the fileserver, it barfs on the
etcsubmit.cf thing 100% of the time. However, if I don't delete
/tmp/temproot, and then start etcupdate again, it works. I'm pretty sure I
lose on submit.cf updates, but I don't run sendmail, so that's never
bothered me.
