What were you trying to do?
make sense of /etc/athena/rc.conf
What's wrong:
It contains the comments:
athena% more /etc/athena/rc.conf
#!/bin/sh
#
# Set up configuration variables.
# Variables containing '*' in the comment are only functional if
# SYNCCONFIG is set to true.
but there is no SYNCCONFIG variable in /etc/athena/rc.conf
Is SYNCCONFIG still used as a variable? Are these comments
outdated? What package is supposed to install the SYNCCONFIG
line to /etc/athena/rc.conf? Is it not doing so? Or only
doing so intermittently?
This is very bizarre....
