But there are cases when you don't, for example when working with small subsets of large trees. <rant> In general, i advise against customizing your tools. - You stumble into another environment, don't have your dotfiles around, and are more or less lost. - You talk to people, you have your customizations in mind, they have their custimizations in mind, misunderstandings abound. - In those cases where you do *not* want the option you put into the dotfile, chances are you will forget to give the reverse option (which the manual cites as "on by default") and use the wrong option without even noticing. In particular, when starting to customize before having thoroughly mastered the tool, chances are you will never properly learn how it works. </rant> OpenBSD makes it much easier than most other systems to get along without customizations because almost all defaults are sane out of the box.
