make install without messing with previous configuration?

hi,

if you really want to do this

cp -R /etc/raddb /etc/raddb.old
make install
rm -rf /etc/raddb
cp -R /etc/raddb.old /etc/raddb


but you then lose 'sight' of new virtual servers, new config options etc
and slowly but surely this will bite you (in my case a while back the
logging config of the server changed and things b0rked nicely)


far better to have a details overview or diff of your changes and
then

cp -R /etc/raddb /etc/raddb.old
make install
{edit the /etc/raddb file as required...easily putting in files by copying from
their backed up location}

done!
