Yes it does! Thanks. > There is a discrepancy (apart from the documentation) as the default > file name is the same on Linux and Windows. The doc is explicit about Windows for the password file, probably should be for the service file as well IMHO. It's unfortunate that the naming conventions are different. Might need to be warned about in the doc too. My $0.02.
