There are three competing utilities for this purpose.

This will show the new files: # find /etc -name ._cfg* > Or could anyone suggest the best steps to proceed? What you should do is figure out how to use either dispatch-conf or=20 cfg-update. Personally I use dispatch-conf because I learned that first and= =20 it satisfies my needs. I think cfg-update is superior but never bothered to= =20 investigate.
