>Description:
I was reading the admin guide and there was a discussion of
appdefaults. However, it seemed that the functionality was not
present in the applications like telnet and kinit (example taken from
the documentation). I checked through the code, and
profile_get_string() is not available to the general library.
Wouldn't this be a really useful thing to have available to
application programers? Or were there reasons to not support this
(seemingly useful) functionality?
