CentOS - Feb 2011 - java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64 keeps clobbering logging.properties

It appears that the rpm does not list the logging.properties as a config file,
as such every time yum updates the file get overwritten.

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/logging.properties

For now I have a cron job to replace it.

Any suggestions?

Try making the file immutable.

chattr +i 
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/logging.properties

Just remember to remove the immutable flag when you want to edit it.
