The single monolithic foo.conf idea may have made sense b= ack in the day, but with the various knobs that are available for build= ing the system, for ease-of-use/intuitiveness the feature makes sense. > I planned on introducing more of these files for other areas of the s= ystem that aren=E2=80=99t currently being handled=E2=80=94 like bsnmpd=E2= =80=99s logging, etc. I think the modularization makes sense. To be clear, I listed two options, and you have only implemented a thir= d (which is to mix the two styles). I think mixing the two styles is the= absolute worst thing to do. If we are going to split a given foo.conf up we should split it up fully so that the out-of-box configuration for= a given daemon is consistent. --=20 John Baldwin
