/usr/local/lib/pine.conf does not work properly.

When i add a new user the config i have in /usr/local/lib/pine.conf are just ignored and i get some default .pinerc file in the users dir. Can anyone please help me whit this and how i fix it.

./kasper Sweden on a freebsd machine.

Take a look at any .pine-debug file of your users and look at the first
few lines, mine looks like this:

reading_pinerc "/usr/local/lib/pine.conf"
Read 5662 characters:
reading_pinerc "/user4/chappa/.pinerc"
Read 22201 characters:
read_pinerc: pinerc_written = 953848501
reading_pinerc "/usr/local/lib/pine.conf.fixed"
Open failed: No such file or directory

if there was a problem, then pine would notify me here (it would print a
different message instead of the number of characters). That should tell
you what's going wrong. If this does not help much, get back to us and
tell us more about the problem.

The fixed settings should be placed in pine.conf.fixed.
