Description rob 2004-07-09 16:40:18 UTC 
Set default config file for mail/razor-agents
The default place to look for the config file was in /etc/razor,
this patch changes that to ${PREFIX}/etc and installs a config file
in that location.

Fix: New files:	files/razor-agent.conf

In most cases, the values in system-wide config file will be overwrote
by the values in user-specified config file.

However, unlike other programs, Razor only read *ONLY ONE* config file:

- if ~/.razor/razor-agent.conf exists, use it,
  otherwise use <razorhome>/razor-agent.conf

- write the attributes back into razor-agent.conf if it's writable.

if we install the default config file, the user-specified config file
will not be created automatically.

Try "razor-admin -d -create" for the following 2 cases (by non-root user),
and you will see the difference between them.

- with <razorhome>/razor-agent.conf and ~/.razor/razor-agent.conf
  - only ~/.razor/razor-agent.conf will be read.
  - the attributes will be wrote back into ~/.razor/razor-agent.conf

- with <razorhome>/razor-agent.conf buf without ~/.razor/razor-agent.conf
  - only <razorhome>/razor-agent.conf will be read.
  - the ~/.razor/razor-agent.conf will not be create.
  - since <razorhome>/razor-agent.conf isn't writable, it keeps intact.
  - if a user want to have his own settings, he need to copy
      <razorhome>/razor-agent.conf to ~/.razor/ and edit it by himself.

So, I agree to update <global_razorhome> from "/etc/razor" to "${PREFIX}/etc",
but I prefer not to install the default config file.

any suggestions?

regards,
