It is not advertised well -- Old hand Unix admins are so used to having to hack scripts, that it does not occur to look for a config file not used in one of the classical variants. Most of this happened back in early RH 7.0. Isolating all config into the /etc tree is a 'Good Thing' -- tremendously simplifies disaster recovery. Leaving the 'executable' unmodified permits rpm Verification, as I mentioned earlier. If you find one which is _not_ included, or takes config outside /etc/ -- Mailman comes to mind -- Bugzilla is your friend. CC me and I'll advocate it. -- Russ Herrold " ...
