freebsd-update and whatis

[Dan Busarow]

I have 9 servers running 9.3-RELEASE p19

They are all pretty much identical at the / and /usr level with 
differences in /usr/local

On two of these servers, freebsd-update keeps updating 
/usr/share/man/whatis after periodic weekly updates whatis

The other 7 don't care.

I know I can add /usr/share/man/whatis to freebsd-update.com IgnorePaths

But.. what I'd really like to know is what may have triggered this 
behavior only on two out of 9 servers?

Thanks,
Dan
