Hi,
I have a slightly strange requirement for being able to include additional
config files in my /etc/imapd.conf. The motivation is not because a ~60 line
imapd.conf needs abstraction to be manageable, but because includes allow
sensitive information such as plaintext MySQL passwords to reside in a
standalone file, allowing the rest of the config to be checked into a
relatively public CVS repository. The desired effect is to go from:
I committed and credited your patch to CVS with a couple of changes:
- we changed the option name from 'include' to '@include' just to differentiate directives from options
- we added loop detection -- a file can't be included recursively (or more than once for that matter)
