Hello list :)

Say I have a config file that I want a user to be able to specify some options but not others.

What I was thinking was in the main config file (which the user can read but not write) I'd specify the options that I don't want them to be able to change and use include: to let them specify any other options in a file they can write to.

My question is:

Would it be better to put the include before or after the other directives?

Say they specify "whatever:" in their file but I don't want to allow them to change or specify "whatever:"

# if htdig uses the first instance of it then I need to specify it first:

 whatever: they shouldn't be able to change this
 include: their/file

or

# if htdig uses the last instance of it then I need to specify it last to override anything they put in:

 include: their/file
 whatever: they shouldn't be able to change this

So which way should I do it to acheive that (IE preventing the include: from overriding certain options) and is that even possible?


Danke :)
