Sorry for this, I'm still looking for the right group to be posting
these questions to ...

Many unix applications use a .somethingrc file to store configuration
information. Gnome applications seem to use gnomconfig for this
job. Is there anything similar to that for console or daemon apps ? 

If not, as so many applications use this kind of thing, could someone
point me at a REALLY simple application that uses an rcfile with name
value pairs that I can look at. I took a look at fetchmail's source,
and I'm still not sure WHERE it handles the rcfile, let alone how :(

TIA,
