Hi,
was there ever a plan to make Hurd servers support configuration
files? Right now the only way to configure them is via command line
options. I think it could be convenient in the future to have them
support configuration files; there could be per-server files and
files, which apply to all servers and could set some defaults like
e.g. a verbosity level for all servers (when they use a syslog
mechanism..).
Configuration files for servers running as root could be stored in
/etc/hurd/, while configuration for servers running as users could be
stored in ~/etc/hurd/.
Configuration file parsing could be easily done by linking the servers
against libguile (wasn't it the plan once the use Guile as a "system
scripting-language"? ...).
Just an idea - what do people think about it?
