You're not the first one to note that, and the message has been changed
in the past to look slightly less scary. Apparently not enough, though.

That sounds like the wrong approach. Instead, I'm applying this patch:
diff --git a/nbd-server.c b/nbd-server.c

i.e., don't show the 'Could not open config file' message, and make the
other message slightly less... strange.
