	Must be a difference between FC3 and FC4.  Technically, you shouldn't
be storing configuration options under /usr, so, maybe, they're moving
it to be more standards compliant.  I did notice that the documentation
on FC4 is wrong compared to what I found on the system but seems to
agree with what you found.  Sounds like a transition situation.

	Yeah, I just looked on one of my FC3 servers and there's no fdi
subdirectory for /etc/hal at all.  Sounds like we just ran smack into a
change in the works for FC4.  Figures...

	If you created it as a new file, then most likely not.  And it sounds
like that directory is there for user policies, so it's unlikely to get
hammered by an update.
