Subject: .pinerc not coming from pine.conf?

From: James Kirkpatrick <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 27 Aug 1999 16:58:40 -0600 (MDT)

We recently upgraded from Pine 3.96 to 4.10, and noticed that new pine
users' .pinerc files do not seem to include customizations from the
pine.conf file, as happened in 3.96.  For example, nntp-server.  The debug
file shows it's being found in pine.conf, but examining .pinerc after the
first run shows it set to null.

The only unusual thing I can think of is that pine.conf.fixed is very
short (i.e. it does not repeat settings in pine.conf) but that worked fine
in 3.96.

I'll append the debug file, below.  The test user (tcall) can read the
pine.conf and pine.conf.fixed via "more", and the debug file confirms
this.

Puzzled,

#
# Pine configuration file -- customize as needed.
#
# This file sets the configuration options used by Pine and PC-Pine.  If you
# are using Pine on a Unix system, there may be a system-wide configuration
# file which sets the defaults for these variables.  There are comments in
# this file to explain each variable, but if you have questions about
# specific settings see the section on configuration options in the Pine
# notes.  On Unix, run pine -conf to see how system defaults have been set.
# For variables that accept multiple values, list elements are separated
# by commas.  A line beginning with a space or tab is considered to be a
# continuation of the previous line.  For a variable to be unset its value
# must be blank.  To set a variable to the empty string its value should
# be "".  You can override system defaults by setting a variable to the
# empty string.  Switch variables are set to either "yes" or "no", and
# default to "no".
# Lines beginning with "#" are comments, and ignored by Pine.
