Site admins can then do whatever they want there. This may involve creating a separate hierarchy like: /srv/etc/Daemon.conf /srv/sbin/Daemon /srv/share/Daemon/data.file But it's equally valid for the site admin to instal a package named "etc" in there like this: /srv/etc/etc-daemon /srv/etc/etc-daemon.conf /srv/etc/etc-daemon-data.file Or the information in there could be totally different. This information is entirely up to the site admin. If we try to read any information in there, we take away this freedom of the site admin to modify things to their hearts content within that hierarchy. -Toshio
