            Bug ID: 242048
           Summary: etcupdate should acquire lock to avoid racing with
                    another instance
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: delphij at FreeBSD.org

Currently etcupdate(8) does not acquire any lock prior to operation, but the
operations are not re-entrant safe, for example, if the administrator performs
another 'etcupdate' in a different SSH session, the etcupdate state would be
damaged.
