Does Debian forbid cfengine? webmin? If you do need to occasionally edit a config file, do you have to change the permissions on /etc to read-write, then change it back? Note that even files such as /etc/fstab can be dynamic as devices/filesystems are dynamically mounted/unmounted.On Thu, 2007-02-08 at 20:23 -0800, Pete Rowley wrote:ok Richard Megginson wrote:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=227771 Resolves: bug 227771 Bug Description: FHS: use sysconfdir (/etc) as config file location Reviewed by: ??? Files: see diff Branch: HEADFix Description: After much deliberation, we have decided that it is ok that our dynamic config files are under /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance. So the config_dir will be /etc/fedora-ds/slapd-instance and the security and schema files will go there as well. Since the FHS is ambiguous about this issue, and it will be very confusing if the configuration files are not under /etc, and there are some agents (webmin, cfengine) that do "dynamically" modify config files under /etc, this outweighs any considerations about having the server using it's config file like an "ascii database".The debian folks (who take FHS seriously) won't buy that. The real test is the ability to have a read only /etc. This sounds like a /var/libthing.Before you get into pain over this, I suggest finding a FHS expert.
Every FHS "expert" I've ever talked to (and I've talked to several) say the FHS is ambiguous with regards to this issue.
