The first time I ever looked for "my.cnf" I had expected to find it in "/usr/local/etc". Since so many configuration files are stored there, it just seemed like a natural place for it to be located. IMHO, a centralized repository for configuration files greatly simplifies system maintenance. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
