The only issue with doing that is that then I have to manually merge changes 
or stop using CVSup to update the sources as well as figure out how to 
exclude a specific file from exact mode in CVSup... or possibly I would need 
to switch to AnonCVS and pay closer attention to what gets updated.

This does present the possibility of a permanent solution (which is good) 
but seems like a fiendishly large amount of work for what seems to me like a 
simple task especially considering that this configuration file has been 
around since the late 70s.

Thanks for your input... and hope for a permanent workaround.
