I think the best would be to read the code because I don't remember how exactly does it work by now and don't want to confuse you. The relevant code is in ProfileImpl::readEntry(LookupData &ld, int flags) method and here is what it does (typing this while looking at it): 1. if the profile is in suspended mode, try to read the value from __SUSPENDED__ subdirectory 2. if it wasn't found there, try the normal location 3. if still not found, use the identity override before looking up the parent (see comment in the code): a) first try the __SUSPENDED__ path b) then the normal one 4. finally go up the parent hieerarchy until we find it Does this answer your question?
