 All class names should be written in uppercase letters (execpt the
 class of the hostname). Do not use a dash, use underscore. Only
 executable scripts in DIRECTORY are used. CLASSFILE is removed before
 writing to it. Scripts should not directly write to CLASSFILE. LOGDIR
 should not be writable for everybody.
