yes, i was saying if the site admin decides, "no i want this app configured locally instead of globally", he still technically has that option, relatively easily. Lest anyone misunderstand me, i will reiterate that I am still completely in favour of the DEFAULT for demons and things, being "configs go in /etc/opt/csw". I am just trying to leave open the door, for certain applications to be allowed to have "global" configs in /opt/csw/etc, if it makese sense to do so. Something like xpdf, I think, it makes sense to do so. You can just NFS-share out /opt/csw everywhere, and it will work correctly. If on the other hand, it looks for configs in /etc/opt..... you share out /opt/csw... and then it breaks, until you go and have to copy in something to /etc/opt/csw on to **Every Single Machine*** you want to run it on. Not very large-scale-install friendly. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
