yes. its main job is to parse dosemu.conf. However every once in a while
we encounter situations that are impossible to configure with dosemu.conf.

yes. These files can also live in /etc/dosemu.

dosemu.users is optional. Only if certain users are allowed to use direct
hardware i/o ($_ports and so on) through a suid-root dosemu.bin or dosemu
-s with sudo, you'll need to edit it. As far as such access is
concerned, only console graphics works with a privileged dosemu by
default.

dosemu.conf lives in the same directory as dosemu.users.

yes. Just like /etc/profile vs. /etc/.profile. Some settings in .dosemurc
are ignored for security reasons.
