Hi I'm trying to ammend a config file for samhain. Here's my patch file which I generated by untarring two samhain packages then altering the samhainrc.linux config file in one then ran diff -uNr samahain samhain-mine > samhain.patch I then put these lines in the samhain rpm spec file: Patch0: samhain-2.0.5b.patch and ...: %prep %setup -q -n samhain-%{version} %patch -p1 My patch file looks like this: diff -uNr samhain-2.0.5b/samhainrc.linux samhain-2.0.5b-my/samhainrc.linux --- samhain-2.0.5b/samhainrc.linux 2004-10-11 08:14:30.000000000 +0100 +++ samhain-2.0.5b-my/samhainrc.linux 2005-05-04 13:03:55.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,669 +1,104 @@ -##################################################################### -# -# Configuration file template for samhain. -# -##################################################################### -# -# -- empty lines and lines starting with '#', ';' or '//' are ignored etc...... Any Help would be appreciated.
