MySQL has a nifty .my.conf file capability, where you can list stuff like:

----
[library]
        password
        host=fred
[mysql]
        verbose
----

those get turned into command line arguments:

        mysql --password --host=fred --verbose

I was thinking that it might be nice to have something similar for AFS,
stored in a central location, consistent across all architectures, that
would be read in addition to command line flags currently specified, such as
/usr/afs/local/afs.options:

---
[fileserver]
        L
        udpBuf=2048000

[vlserver]
        p=14
        syslog

[bosserver]
        log
        syslogs
---

and you could have one in /usr/vice/etc as well to set some params for the
client code. 

Something to think about...
