Directory Layout
Within this directory are several subdirectories, to wit:
| m4 | General support routines. These are typically very important and should not be changed without very careful consideration. |
| cf | The configuration files themselves. They have ".mc" suffixes, and must be run through m4 to become complete. The resulting output should have a ".cf" suffix. |
| ostype | Definitions describing a particular operating system type. These should always be referenced using the OSTYPE macro in the .mc file. Examples include "bsd4.3", "bsd4.4", "sunos3.5", and "sunos4.1". |
| domain | Definitions describing a particular domain, referenced using the DOMAIN macro in the .mc file. These are site dependent; for example, "CS.Berkeley.EDU.m4" describes hosts in the CS.Berkeley.EDU subdomain. |
| mailer | Descriptions of mailers. These are referenced using the MAILER macro in the .mc file. |
| sh | Shell files used when building the .cf file from the .mc file in the cf subdirectory. |
| feature | These hold special orthogonal features that you might want to include. They should be referenced using the FEATURE macro. |
| hack | Local hacks. These can be referenced using the HACK macro. They shouldn't be of more than voyeuristic interest outside the .Berkeley.EDU domain, but who knows? |
| siteconfig | Site configuration -- e.g., tables of locally connected UUCP sites. |
