But i'm safe if I do it manually?  or will CPX over-write my changes 
at a later date?

That was another discussion on the VPS2 list a while ago - the issue 
is with permissions - now I have the company123.com acting with 
different permissions.  And what if 'manager' leaves the company?  I 
have to keep his account around or shuffle things for the new manager 
to keep everything working.

I think i'll keep with manually editing for now..
