Look inside the files in them, go through the different layers of subdirectories. Soon it will become apparent where the cnfig files are generally kept. You will also get a good grasp of how things are layed out in a Linux system, enough to set the stage for the book you really ought to be reading. Also look up the purpose of "locate", because then you could think of a program you commonly use, look it up, and find where its associated files go. That would then give a clue to where the config files are, because the specific points to the general. Learning to use the man pages is also terribly useful. Michael

It is a very bad question, because they can be anywhere. As he says, "generally" in Linux they are in /etc, but there are also some in /usr/share/<nameofprogram> or in /var/lib or even in /usr/lib/<nameofprogram> >Global config files are generally in /etc or /usr/local/etc. User config >files are in ~/.[whatever] >-- >John (john@os2.dhs.org)
