Swearingen >Release: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE i386 >Organization: none >Environment: n/a ================ >Description: The configuration files for at(1), at.allow and at.deny, are currently looked for in /var/at/ instead of in /etc/ like almost all other system configuration files. Each file should first be looked for first in /etc/ (and then in /var/at/ for backward compatibility). The manual should document this behavior. This change makes the OS configuration scheme more consistent. Also, I suppose that many SAs prefer to keep these files in /etc/ so that the configuration files are easier to find and back up and this change would save them the effort of maintaining a link from /var/at/ to /etc/. ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
