Yes -- that's right.  However, for future reference, use the patch(1)
program which can automate all that stuff for you.

All you should need to do is save the message into a file, and then:

    # cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
    # patch < /tmp/saved-message

You don't even need to edit the saved message to extract the patch
text: the patch(1) program deals with all that automatically.

And you're right -- this is exactly what mergemaster(1) uses.  The
patch is produced by the diff(1) program, which is why they are
occasionally known as 'diffs'.  Note that diff(1) can produce patches
in three different formats, but for historical reasons the default
format is not the 'unidiff' format that basically everyone uses: you
have to type 'diff -u' to get that.

	Cheers,
