%files section of SPEC file

["Joshua M. Miller" <joshua itsecureadmin com>]

Good morning,

I am new to RPM creation and I am attempting to build my first "ground 
up" package.  I'm using RH 4.5 as a build platform and have the 
following question:

I have the following variables relevant to this discussion:

%define buildroot /usr/src/redhat

When populating the %files section, how do I specify that a file should 
be taken from the build root of:

%{buildroot}/etc/

...and placed in the final destination of:

/etc

I keep getting the entire %{buildroot} created on the destination host.

TIA,
--
