How to create refuse files with SUPPER for various nodes?

Question:

How do I build a refuse file so that supper will not update
certain files on various nodes.  In my example I am not
using scan files and I add /etc/environment to the 
/var/sysman/sup/user.admin/refuse.  When I run supper update
on the node the refuse file gets zeroed out; thus /etc/environment
gets updated on this node.  How do I build the refuse file?

Response:

On each node in /var/sysman/sup there is a refuse file.  This
is the file that is to be updated by the user.  The 
/var/sysman/sup/\/refuse is a system-generated
file that is built based on the files listed in 
/var/sysman/sup/refuse.  The files listed in /var/sysman/sup/refuse
will be added to the refuse files located in each file collection 
directory.

In your example you would add /etc/environment to  
/var/sysman/sup/refuse.  Then when supper update is run the
system will generate a refuse file in each file collection directory
that will contain /etc/environment.  This will prevent /etc/environment
from being updated on this node by the supper server.

The two kinds of refuse files are documented in the SP2 Administration 
Guide, Release 2 on page 173.
