It appears that /etc/ssmtp.conf is not included in the ucs file. Using:

 

sol4422: Viewing and modifying the files that are configured for inclusion in a UCS archive

 

I looked at cs.dat and see no instances for the /etc/ssmtp directory. So the upgrade will not include the ssmtp.conf file. It would have been nice to include that fact in sol13180.

I'm only talking about /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf persisting through a full_box_reboot. If I reboot the device, changes to ssmtp.conf are reverted.
