Patch NMIS8 Config
Your NMIS installation may have settings that you have changed from the default installation. If you would like to keep these changes you will need to merge the additional fields that have been added into the stock configuration into your custom configuration. NMIS provides a tool called updateconfig.pl to help you do this:

# merge changes for new NMIS Config options.
/usr/local/nmis8/admin/updateconfig.pl /usr/local/nmis8/install/Config.nmis /usr/local/nmis8/conf/Config.nmis
/usr/local/nmis8/admin/updateconfig.pl /usr/local/nmis8/install/Access.nmis /usr/local/nmis8/conf/Access.nmis |
Most of the config files will likely be the same as the install version, for these you can just copy the new versions
