Not to further beat a dead horse but ... We're not talking about configuring one host, though I try things out on a single host by hand edits first. I generate configs and have have tools to rebuild any host from scratch in a single command line, compare all configs on a running host to updated config templates, etc. So I have to change some path names in config templates and roll out changes. No big deal but a "ln -s" command isn't going to do the trick. As I said to Viktor, I mistakenly thought, based on reading (maybe misreading) numerous web pages of documentation with no mention of a limitation, that the -c argument was supposed to work like -c or -cf in any other package. Now I know that it doesn't. Peace, Curtis
