Right, these admin-owned files are not installed anymore. The runtime code still uses the files, in case they are created by the admin. > The message on commit 8eb4461645c5 says, > Remove the sysconfig file and place the current desired default into > the service file. Yes, and right in the next paragraph the commit messages states the files are (still) recognized. As of f8b6c7e5, libvirt-guests.sh initializes some internal defaults, then it loads the admin-owned sysconfig file, in case it was created. The documentation about this specific tool (libvirt-guests(1)) states what values from /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests will be recognized. While browsing various user mailing lists in the past years I often saw messages like "system was upgraded to new version, and as a result an expected file somewhere in /etc does not exist anymore. What now?". Apparently some folks expect files to be present before they can be edited. In my experience it is always possible to create the required files and fill them with the desired content, based on available documentation. Olaf
