System name:		joy
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.4H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	Keep files in a directory /usr/local/pw useful for rebuilding
	the passwd file.

What's wrong:
	They were blown away at 00:50, presumably by the update.
	The directory is still there.

What should have happened:
	AUTOUPDATE is not a license to clobber things under /usr/local
	when PUBLIC=false.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	/usr/local is mounted on /
