Hi All,

Does anyone have a workaround for /etc/security to make it safely and
securely backup etc files which have the immutability flag set? It is
currently doing a `cp -p' which sets schg on the backup files making them
unwritable.

I understand that this largely is not an issue because files with the schg
flag set shoudn't be changing anyhow but on occasion I do tinker with
pf.conf and I am trying to find the 'right' way to handle /var/backup in
this case.

I have been tinkering with `tar - | tar -' to do the copy but I am not
sure of my ability to make safe, secure, and reliable shell scripts.

Anyone have input?

Thanks,
Matt Harrington
