No, you're misunderstanding the difference between the HTML form and the
-c flag at the command-line. The HTML form is completely untrusted, so you
want to force it into a specific path. For convenience, the field also
gets the "conf" extension. (This is mostly historical.)
When you specify the -c flag for *any* of the programs, it does exactly
what a good UNIX program should--it uses the filename. So if you don't
specify a directory, it assumes the current one (and from what you said,
there weren't any config files in that directory). If you give a filename,
it looks for that file.
Does this make sense?
