What I want to understand is, why the redhad configuration tools do create configuration files, which prevent the correct behavior of application programs. Whenever something like this happens, we get a suppert event, and need a debug session with 'vi' to correct the files, because the suspicious line is never displayed in in the graphical tools. My intention to ask in this list was, if anybody can tell why, or should I open a bug report on bugzilla?
