[LON-CAPA-dev] firewall question (a monthly periodical?)

[Scott Harrison]

Dear Martin:

http://bugs.lon-capa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=810
"Place ntp configuration in a helpful but not destructive place."

Done.  I will do the same thing for krb.conf.  Are there any other
instances you can think of?

???

The configuration files ARE NOT overwritten
(take a look at Makefile.configinstall).  Out of curiosity,
what happens to screw up ntp?

Regards,
Scott
