Kernel update removes entries from /etc/services

Hi

I've installed a glftpd server from source and appended this line to /etc/services to make it work:

glftpd    21/tcp

Every time I update my kernel with pacman, this line is removed and I have to add it manually. Is it a bug or should I do something to inform pacman not to mess with this line?

Re: Kernel update removes entries from /etc/services

pacman may move /etc/services to /etc/services.pacsave.  If so, you can write a script that copies that line from the pacsave file to the new config.
