run mergemaster with no flags

$ cat /etc/mergemaster.rc
AUTO_INSTALL=YES
AUTO_UPGRADE=YES
PRESERVE_FILES=yes
#IGNORE_FILES="/etc/rc.d/*"
DIFF_OPTIONS='-I$FreeBSD:.*[$]'

PRESERVE_FILES_DIR=/var/mergemaster/preserved-files-`date +%y%m%d-%H%M%S`

IGNORE_FILES="/etc/crontab /etc/fstab /etc/group /etc/hosts /etc/inetd.conf
/etc/make.conf /etc/master.passwd /etc/motd /etc/newsyslog.conf
