Since the file is not meant to be edited, it is not a host-specific config file, but a package version specific config file, which is managed by upstream and not by the user. So from the users point of view, it's more a data file than a config file. Btw. as far as I understand the program, if the config file is changed, then an addional module, which is written in C++, that covers the new service needs to be added, too. Regards Till
