Hi all,

I would like to distribute our sudoers file using an rpm package.
My spec file looks like:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Summary: ...(lots of stuff...)

%description
The sudoers file gives limited root access to pcs

%prep
echo

%setup 
echo

%build
echo

%install

%clean
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT          

%files
%config /etc/sudoers            

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I try to install the rpm I get:

file /etc/sudoers from install of diamond-sudoers-0.1-1 conflicts with
file from package sudo-1.6.7p5-30.1.1

Can I put something in my spec file to force the overwrite of
the /etc/sudoers file???

Thanks in advance,

Wes.
