It would be nice if it *were* replaced, perhaps at run time??
Otherwise it is quite confusing for novice users, and even for some
more experienced users. Especially as there is no file called
/usr/lib/linuxconf/redhat/conf.daemons... the 'conf' also needs
substituting for the actual filename, maybe?

Great! I'll add this to my FAQ. Michael K.: if this is a genuine
RedHat 5.2 packaging bug, and not a direct Linuxconf problem, can we
consider it officially reported, and so expect an updated linuxconf
package to appear on updates.redhat.com soon <grin>?
If there is a similar problem making dialout connections we/RedHat/the
Linux community will probably get plenty of questions about it,
because RH 5.2 does recommend using Linuxconf for that purpose... or
does the dialout.daemons file only matter if you load the dialout
module??
