FWIW, yes, the "default way has changed" bit was clear. It simply wasn't |
| 18 |
(and remains not in the updated news item itself, but there's a link with |
| 19 |
more info now...) immediately clear how the config changes we were being |
| 20 |
asked to do related to that... in part because of the user vs. system |
| 21 |
question. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But the updated version is all around better. |

Yes. I found the settings in the system-wide file. I've had no reason to |
| 30 |
change them from system defaults, so they weren't in the user config, only |
| 31 |
the system config. The new version allows that information to be |
| 32 |
discovered far easier. =:^) |

To the extent that everything seems to be working, yes. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
However, in the context of a security bump with instructions for config |
| 40 |
entries I don't see, that I don't fully understand the significance of and |
| 41 |
with no link to further details, as I suppose most admins, I start asking |
| 42 |
questions! |

Indeed. Much /much/ better now. =:^) |

Thanks! =:^) |
