Yes, I'm sure -- that's where I looked at the man page and the source.
And I'm 99% certain I specified -d when I ran cvs. The CVS/Entries file
in /usr/src/usr.sbin says Tnetbsd-1-5. In fact, I just ran cvs with
-P -d in /usr/src/usr.sbin and it left it alone. To be sure, I deleted
the etcupdate directory, and ran 'cvs update' from the parent directory
and it recreated it...
Maybe it's not supposed to be part of 1.5.3, but it's there. The
question is whether or not it works.
