Yes you've misunderstood the meaning of default, I'm sorry because this is probably my fault, as English isn't my native language. So,... Variables set with foo_enable=[yes|no] will maintain the behavior they have now. Variables set with foo_enable=ask will be treaded as follows: - user is asked to enter yes or no at startup, - if after the default-timeout or daemon-specific-timeout is elapsed the user hasn't still chosen, a default-response or daemon-specific-response is taken into account to decide whether the daemon is to be started or not. What is debatable, is to decide whether the default-response is to set to "yes" or "no". > > Ceri > -- > That must be wonderful!
