but my point was that that file is noticeably lacking in documentation
for a *number* of possible files that might appear in /etc/sysconfig.
the example i gave was /etc/sysconfig/nfs, which is sourced from the
startup file /etc/init.d/nfs, but is not mentioned in that doc file.

personally, i don't think this is a horrific problem since i can 
appreciate how many services might want to have a config file in
/etc/sysconfig and that it would be impossible to keep up with all
of them.

i just wondered if there was alternative documentation on a 
per-service basis, since i've found nothing that explains what
might go in, for example, /etc/sysconfig/nfs, short of reading
the startup code.
