As a policy, software in the OpenBSD tree does not modify files in /etc automatically. This means it is always up to the administrator to make the necessary modifications there. Upgrades are no exception. To update files in these directories, first determine what changes have occurred to the base (distribution) files, and then manually reapply these changes.
