Well, I'm sorta 50/50 on it. Besides it being somewhat icky for some configurations, I don't see a reason to shift to a config file. OTOH, I agree that every other daemon I can think of uses a config file for everything except things like debugging, etc. Then again, you can usually override the config file via the commandline anyway. Think of sendmail, postfix, ssh, etc, ie: % cat .ssh/config [...] Host someplace.com protocol 2 [...] % ssh -o 'protocol 1' someplace.com So I would say -- keep the commandline options, but allow something like "-f config file" to also deal with the options. That way you can use the config file most of the time, override with the commandline as necessary, and also leave backwards compat. in place. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
