No, it doesn't turn anything on. If you looked at the file you would see that it's nothing but comments. OTOH, users who try to start dhclient without a conf file somtimes run into trouble. And do me a favor in the future please. You and I seem to have some kind of communications problem, so please try to state your "real" point more clearly in the future so that we can both save some time. > > Now that I've allayed your fears regarding my thought process, if > > you're not comfortable with committing the patch, assign the PR to either > > imp or obrien since they are the ones responsible for those two files. > > "Almost allayed". Like I said, if you don't understand/aren't comfortable with the issues involved, assign the PR to someone who is. > And I certainly won't be sorting BIN1. ;-) You don't have to, I already did. :) But seriously folks, I can't think of a reason not to re-alphabetize it, since the entries that are there are currently almost right anyway. However as I indicated in my PR adding the two files is the important point here.
